Description Anke Boernig 2005-09-12 11:14:37 UTC 
When trying to configure a printer (Samsung CLP-510) via YaST, the ppd-file is
refused with an error message.

The same ppd-file works perfectly fine on other systems.

Comment 3 Johannes Meixner 2005-09-12 12:38:48 UTC 
Your PPD is broken:

cupstestppd /tmp/CLP-510splc.ppd 

/tmp/CLP-510splc.ppd: FAIL
      **FAIL**  Unable to open PPD file
                - Missing asterisk in column 1 on line 89.
                REF: Page 15, section 3.2.

Broken PPDs may work well sometimes or may cause any unexpected problem.
Therefore YaST doesn't accept broken PPDs.

Ask Samsung for a correct PPD and point them to

Comment 4 Johannes Meixner 2005-09-12 12:45:15 UTC 
In column 1 on line 89 there is a whitespace character.
Remove it and it is still broken:

perl -pi -e 's/^[ \t]+$//' /tmp/CLP-510splc.ppd

cupstestppd /tmp/CLP-510splc.ppd 

/tmp/CLP-510splc.ppd: FAIL
      **FAIL**  REQUIRED DefaultImageableArea
                REF: Page 102, section 5.15.
