Bug fixes on the Kyocera PPD files ---------------------------------- Unfortunately, not all of the PPD files supplied to us by Kyocera are working correctly as they are not completely conforming with Adobe's specifications for PPD files [1]. Especially CUPS refuses to use PPD files which do not conform to Adobe's specifications. For users this problem usually gets visible when they want to print for the first time and no printout comes out of the printer. For people who do not know CUPS very well -- and these are most people -- this problem is very difficult to fix. The PPD files were checked [2] with cupstestppd [3] and some of them didn't pass the tests for Adobe conformance. I have fixed the files in this directory and put the original versions in ".orig" files. To get an overview of the applied fixes have a look at fixes.diff. The changes are the minimum changes necessary to fix the problems. They do not add or remove printer functionality. Here is the report of cupstestppd to the original files: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ for p in *.ppd ; do cupstestppd $p | grep -v 'PASS' \ | grep -v 'CONFORMANCE TEST' ; done | grep -v '^$' FILE: FS-1000+.ppd FILE: FS-1000.ppd FILE: FS-1010.ppd FILE: FS-1050.ppd FILE: FS-1200.ppd FILE: FS-1700+.ppd FILE: FS-1700.ppd FILE: FS-1714M.ppd FILE: FS-1750.ppd FILE: FS-1800+.ppd FILE: FS-1800.ppd FILE: FS-1900.ppd FILE: FS-3700+.ppd FILE: FS-3700.ppd FILE: FS-3718M.ppd FILE: FS-3750.ppd FILE: FS-3800.ppd FILE: FS-5800C.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultColorMode FILE: FS-5900C.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultColorMode FILE: FS-600.ppd FILE: FS-6020.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: FS-6300.ppd FILE: FS-6700.ppd FILE: FS-6750.ppd FILE: FS-680.ppd FILE: FS-6900.ppd FILE: FS-7000+.ppd FILE: FS-7000.ppd FILE: FS-7028M.ppd FILE: FS-800.ppd FILE: FS-8000C.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultColorMode FILE: FS-9000.ppd FILE: FS-9100DN.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: FS-9500DN.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: KM-1510.ppd FILE: KM-1530.ppd FILE: KM-1810.ppd FILE: KM-2030.ppd FILE: KM-2530.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: KM-3530.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: KM-4030.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultInputSlot FILE: KM-4230.ppd FILE: KM-4530.ppd FILE: KM-5230.ppd FILE: KM-5530.ppd FILE: KM-6230.ppd FILE: KM-6330.ppd FILE: KM-C830.ppd **FAIL** REQUIRED DefaultColorMode $ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [1]: http://partners.adobe.com/asn/tech/ps/technotes.jsp [2]: Thanks to Johannes Meixner from SuSE for this test [3]: cupstestppd is a part of the CUPS system from http://www.cups.org/
