The ppd file for the CUPS printer xxxx could not be loaded.

[Daniel Kasak]

Hi all.

It used to be that when I opened a ( gnome ) print dialog from an app
such as gpdf, evince, abiword, etc, it would detect the default settings
of the selected printer - I assume it was inspecting the ppd of the
printer. This is no longer working.

When I open a print dialog, I get a stream of messages:

---

Model not found, discarding config

The setting that I'm most interested in at the moment is the default
paper size. Other apps ( eg OpenOffice ) correctly detect that all my
printers are A4 printers. All gnome apps that use the gnome print dialog
insist on defaulting to Letter sized paper.

I'm running CUPS-1.1.23 on server and clients ( both Gentoo Linux ). All
printers are of course shared via CUPS IPP from the server.

I'm also running Gnome-2.12.1.

Any ideas?
