Description Bryan 2003-05-26 20:46:21 UTC

I followed the cups printing howto the other day, and there was a rather
important step mising.  after using foomatic to make the .ppd for the printer,
it needs to be copied to the /usr/share/cups/models (?? IIRC this is correct)
directory.  This really needs to be added onto the print guide.

I looked into it and this step is not necessary. Foomatic automatically adds a new printer to cups and copies the ppd file to /et/cups/ppd.
