Gavin,

One quick thought here.

How were the above PPD files installed? From the default CUPS
installation or via the "import PPD file" action menu item that is in
printconf-gui?

It might be worthwhile considering the possibility that these files are
corrupted and/or perhaps have improper access permissions.

Deleting and re-installing these might help here. It is the PPD
(Postscript Printer Driver) files that provide configuration setting
information to CUPS for Postscript printers.

Just a thought.

If it is not too late, check the above before filing a bug report, just
in case it is a local issue.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply. The ppd files came from CUPS. They were
generated (I assume) when I added the printers uing printconf-gui. I
didn't import them from anywhere else. This is all on a vanilla FC5
install with a few apps added from standard yum repositories and all
relevant updates added via yum.

I've filed a bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191034

Will see if anything comes from it. Thanks for all your help.

All the best,

G
