[STR New]

server: Linux cups-1.6.1
client: MacOS X Lion 10.7.5

I've created the following class  :
   djZC328
and added the following printers as members :
   djZC328-a and djZC328-b

According to :
  http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/api-cups.html
For classes, cupsGetPPD returns the PPD file for the first printer in the
class.

Unfortunately with the OS X Add Printer dialog box, "Generic PostScript
Printer" gets auto-selected. I was expecting the PPD file for the first
printer in the class to be read, but it doesn't appear to be the case, see
/var/log/cups/error_log attached (which is all of the server side log
output after clicking on the printer in the "Add Printer" dialog on the OS
X client side).



Thanks,
Doug
