I'm not really sure. I'm using the ppds I used before. (copied them from my suse install)

these correspond to the modes of the printer and they served me well before.
Is there something wrong with that?

I don't have any with gimp-print-ijs on my new system but there are a bunch in the suse backups.
what do I need to do?

cheers
