[STR New]
The following HP-supplied PPD files in the foomatic-db package (they also
come with HPLIP)
db/source/PPD/HP/designjet/HP_Designjet_5000_PS3.ppd
db/source/PPD/HP/designjet/HP_Designjet_5500_PS3.ppd
db/source/PPD/HP/mono_laser/HP_LaserJet_4240.ppd
db/source/PPD/HP/mono_laser/HP_LaserJet_4250.ppd
db/source/PPD/HP/mono_laser/HP_LaserJet_4350.ppd
(Look up these printers on linuxprinting.org and click "Custom PPD" to get
directly to the PPDs)
Have a space between the asterisk and the option keyword in some
UIConstraints lines:
*UIConstraints: *HPManualDuplex True * PageRegion EnvMonarch
which breaks some PPD-consuming applications, like KDE Printing Manager,
but "cupstestppd" lets these files pass. "cupstestppd" should let them
fail.
