[cups] Generating printer native bits file

Sun Sep 7 08:14:44 PDT 2014

Hi guys, i've been struggling with this problem for over a month now.  What am i doing wrong? How can i fix this error?I would really appreciate if someone could help me out, this has been driving me crazy.
 I've been able to generate print ready bits using hplips and gutenprint by issuing following command:for gutenprint:
cat ~/converted.ps | foomatic-rip -v --ppd stp-escp2-wf7010.5.2.sim.ppd -o PageSize=Letter -o ImageableArea=Letter -o PageRegion=Letter -o PaperDimension=Letter -o InputSlot=MainTray -o MediaType=Automatic -o OutputMode=Auto
this converts the post script file to printer native language file. I can do similar using hplips. However when i try to use this by installing a driver (installing driver, then mentioning the ppd for that printer which came with the driver) for any other printers (Epson, brother etc...) i get an error message:
Closing renderer
Can't open PPD file.renderer exited with status 1
Possible error on renderer command line or PostScript error. Check options.kid3
exited with status 3
Process is dying with "Error closing renderer
", exit stat 3
Cleaning up...The cups error_log displays the following:D [05/Sep/2014:19:14:56 +0000] Report: clients=0
