The current Edgy should not suffer this problem (or perhaps for some
Toshiba printers). Do (copy and paste the commands with your mouse):
cd /usr/share/foomatic
for f in db/source/*/*.xml; do cat $f | perl -e '$a = join("", <>); ($a =~ /\r/
? exit 0 : exit 1)' && echo $f; done
I get only
db/source/printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_520.xml
db/source/printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_600.xml
db/source/printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_720.xml
db/source/printer/Toshiba-e-Studio_850.xml
Older versions of Foomatic had a lot more ^m characters. Especially the
XML file for your printer (Epson Stylus Photo 750) is fixed in current
Edgy, perhaps even in the final Dapper. In addition, in Edgy this
printer is supported by Gutenprint via a ready-made PPD, so Foomatic
will not need to generate a PPD.
So for everyone who has not one of the 4 Toshiba printers listed above
this bug is fixed.
And as for these Toshiba models Edgy included the ready-made PostScript
PPDs provided by Toshibe, the printer setup tools will most probably not
break on these.
Every program parsing XML should not break on these Toshiba XML files,
as
xmllint --noout /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Toshiba*.xml
does not show any error.
