can you please use gimp-print-5.0 with USE=ppds and utilize the provided ppd files? Why would you want to autogenerate ppd files? Please reopen when it does not work with the provided ones and give more info why not.
Yes, it didn't work with gimp-print-5.0, cups-1.2.5, foomatic-20060720, ghostscript-esp-8.15.3
I use this because of kde using this to install my printer. It cannot and i foun that error was in this program. It's, probably, not bug in gimp-print, because i have this error with bjc610a8.upp, too
I recompiled all with gcc-4.1.1 - same results
gimp-print 5.1.0 is out. Please try with that one.
Same error with gimp-print-5.1.0
Sorry, forgot to reopen it
prrobably this was a bug in kde. I suggest you to try again with cups-1.2.10 and the latest kde version 3.5.7 Also try to add the printer in the cups interface (localhost:631) It usually works better there :)
