[Alex Korobkin]

If you're affected by this (and you're probably on Ubuntu), it is caused by
color-management patch.

> To reproduce:
> 1. Open your CUPS web interface in the browser
> 2. Click any existing printer,
> 3. Choose Modify Printer in the menu
> 4. Choose a PPD different from the current one.

> In my situation, CUPS says that it successfully updated the printer, but
> PPD and model stays the same.

> At the same time, lpadmin -m /path/to/ppd -p printer works fine.

>  Could someone with working CUPS 1.7.5 confirm or deny this?
