Thank you. I have downloaded the file, compressed it and attached it to this mail to ensure it is available in the BTS for the future. cups-driverd looks in /usr/share/ppd/ for PPDs but does not look in its sub-directories: brian@desktop:~$ grep Loading error_log.txt D [08/Jan/2018:22:30:53 +0100] [cups-driverd] Loading \"/usr/share/cups/model\"...
