Set Printer Options Error

Hi,

I are running Redhat ES 3.0 Server. Cups rpm compiled using rpmbuild as per cups website.

I had added PPD files for the Lanier LD 445 Printer and this worked fine when accessing "Set Printer Options".

The problem is that I needed drivers for the HP 5550 Colour LaserJet, so I decided to install foomatic-db, and the other 3 foomatic source packages. After this I restarted cups and installed the correct foomatic driver the the HP 5550. This worked fine, but now whenever I try to set the printer Options (for any of the printers) I get the following error:

Error: Missing PPD-Adobe-4.x header

I have checked the ppd files in /etc/cups/ppd/PRINTERNAME.ppd and the header shows:

*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"

which is correct.

Can someone please help.

Thank Alot
Regards
Philipp
