Hello,

Long time without posting to the Unix forum.

I'm currently supporting a RHEL 5.8 environment. Our site is a Konica Minolta shop. We are setting up back-end printing and for the most part it's all well. We've been having issues with a particular model: C364 colour printer. It prints Ok if the regular trays are selected but it won't print from the side tray aka bypass tray. We have been provided with a PPD that supposedly works fine with CUPS 1.3 but it won't work with 1.4. The vendor won't give us a 1.4 version of the PPD. The moment we try to print to the side tray, CUPS doesn't like some of the parameters and shuts the printer down.

Does anybody have any suggestion at this point?

Thanks much and good day to all,

Fabio Gil

ppdmerge

ppdmerge(1)							    Apple Inc.							       ppdmerge(1)

NAME

       ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ...	ppd-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       ppdmerge  merges  two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language PPD file.	This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
       release of CUPS.

OPTIONS

       ppdmerge supports the following options:

       -o output-ppd-file
	      Specifies the PPD file to create.  If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to the standard  output.   If  the  output  file
	      already exists, it is silently overwritten.

NOTES

       ppdmerge  does  not  check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.  Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable
       results.
