In the Cups System Administrator Manual it suggests that if you want to set up a desk jet printer using the lpadmin command the -m option identifying the driver should be: -m deskjet.ppd That does not work since the deskjet file is gzipped and named: deskjet.ppd.gz. So -m deskjet.ppd.gz will work or you could gunzip the driver file. So where is the problem? Is this a typo in the manual? I really can't believe that one should gunzip all of the driver files.
