[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#768859: [printer-driver-hpcups] upgrading the packages overwrites the ppd

[Francesco Muzio]

I have created a new fake printer with

# lpadmin -p TEST-HP -v file:/dev/null -m 
drv:///hpijs.drv/hp-deskjet_f4200_series-hpijs.ppd

also my real printer is set with this PPD.

I have modified the timestamp assigned at hpcups and hpijs drivers in 
the file /var/cache/cups/ppd-updates (see below)

1406528241 cups-filters
1413466391 foomatic-db
1395658887 foomatic-db-engine
1402817434 hpijs-ppds
1413466391 openprinting-ppds
1403714525 gutenprint
1315463320 hpcups
1315463320 hpijs


I have added this line as last istruction in the loop present in the 
ppd_updater() function

echo "ppd=$ppd ppdfound=$ppdfound nickname=$nickname lang=$lang"

I have triggered the updating of PPD with an

# apt-get --reinstall install printer-driver-hpijs

and this is the interesting part of the result:

why the fake printer still has the old PPD ?

this means that hpcups ignore TEST-HP.ppd ? or hpijs is unable to 
re-update the ppd for my real printer?
