Description Johannes Meixner 2005-08-22 08:07:14 UTC

George Liu from Ricoh informed me that we should remove
the Foomatic generated Postscript PPDs for Ricoh family printers.
In the installed system these PPDs are:

for d in Ricoh Gestetner Infotec Lanier NRG Savin
do ls /usr/share/cups/model/$d/*_PS-Postscript.ppd.gz
done

Reason:
For all those printers there are manufacturer PPDs available
and the manufacturer PPDs support all printer features.
In contrast the Foomatic generated PPDs are generic PPDs
which do not provide special sprinter specific features.

Seems that "Lanier", "Gestetner", "NRG", and "Savin" needs to removed 
completely (incl. subdirs), as no other types of printer exists there. 
 
And only those needs to be removed (processed) individual: 
 Infotec/*_PS-Postscript.ppd.gz 
 Ricoh/*_PS-Postscript.ppd.gz

Comment 2 Johannes Meixner 2005-08-22 08:59:54 UTC

Yes.
According to George Liu only this non-Postscript PPDs can be kept:
