Scripting HP/jetadmin to CUPS conversion

[Rex Mueller]

I have cobbed together some code from a post on another forum and have come up with a script that builds the printer.conf to convert from HP/UX queues to CUPS...

I am curious as to how CUPS connects the items in the printers.conf to reference what particular PPD or model script is uses for printing?

The script builds the printer file, I still appear to have an issue because it does not know what model script/ppd to use to filter through.

Any insight appreciated.
