It only appears after I install gutenprint-cups, and then it appears in a gutenprint subfolder somewhere under /usr/local/share/cups/. Since many of the installed applications don't seem to want to access the cups printer, I'd like to switch back to lpd rather than always recompiling applications with CUPS support. Will the ppd files under /usr/local/share/cups work with foomatic and lpd? Thanks, Andrew
