#617 2025 Gutenprint breaks drivers because it doesn't support old format
My EPSON printer stopped working after a system update one day. Ever since, I had to keep downgrading gutenprint to make it work, because apparently they periodically make a new PPD format that is incompatible with older ones for no apprent reason. And the drivers I have are only compatible with the format used before the 2025 update. Other people have had similar problems (bbs archlinux topic id 304707) and also, this problem keeps getting repeated perpetually because I also found a similar post from 2010 or so. Would it be so hard to keep supporting the old format?
