Package: foomatic-gui
Version: 0.7.7

When I configure my HP laserjet printer I am recommended to use the
"Postscript using manufacturer PPD file" driver. However, after choosing
the driver when pressing Apply I get the following error message:

Unable to retrieve PPD file from PPD/HP/mono_laser/hp_LaserJet_2300.ppd

Investigating the python code foomatic-gui seems to use the ppd tag from
the HP-LaserJet_2300.xml file in the foomatic database. But this only
gives a relative URL: PPD/HP/mono_laser/hp_LaserJet_2300.ppd instead of
the full URL which is:
http://openprinting.org/foomatic-db/db/source/PPD/HP/mono_laser/hp_LaserJet_2300.ppd
thus the download fails.

I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug in foomatic-db of
foomatic-gui, however I'll report it for foomatic-gui, as this is where
I noticed it.

Cheers
Jochen
