#61 wrong line break in ppd template for HP LaserJet Series
when I install a new printer as e.g. "HP LaserJet 4200
Foomatic/Postscript" (seems to concern all HP LaserJets),
in the resulting PPD file in /etc/cups/ppd there is an
error that results in the printer demanding manual input
slot selection.
Instead of
InputSlot Default/Default: "%%
FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: InputSlot=Default"
FoomaticRIPOptionSetting InputSlot=Default:
"<</ManualFeed false &&
>>setpagedevice\n"
it reads:
InputSlot Default/Default: "%%
FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: InputSlot=Default"
FoomaticRIPOptionSetting InputSlot=Default:
"<</ManualFeed fals&&
e>>setpagedevice\n"
(note the wrong linebreak in the word "false")
When I correct the corresponding ppd file, automatic
input slot
selection works as expected.

Can you put Foomatic into debug mode by editing
/etc/foomatic/filter.conf removing the comment sign ('#')
from the "debug" line and switching it to 1? If you do not
have an /etc/foomatic/filter.conf file, edit
/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip changing the line "my
$debug=0;" to "my $debug=1;".
Then send a job again and attach the files
/tmp/foomatic-rip.log and /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps here. Thanks.
