My new Dell laptop came with a free Dell p513w printer. I've been trying to set it up for use with Fedora 16. It's a wireless printer, so I've set it up, connected it to my network and got it working using a Windows PC. My Fedora desktop can see it on the next work, but it appears that foomatic doesn't have a PPD for this model of printer, so I've been scouring the internet. This README file (http://downloads.dell.com/printer/R247660_Readme.txt) talks about a file called dell-inkjet-09-driver-1.0-1.i386.rpm.sh.tar.gz which installs a bunch of PPDs for Dell printers in /usr/dellinkjet/dell09/etc/. The list includes dlP513w.ppd, which is the PPD for my printer. However, the only file that I can find is http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails?DriverId=R247660&FileId=2731129294&DriverName=Dell%20Photo%20P513W%20AIO%20Inkjet%20Printer%2C%20A00 which only includes the .deb version of the package, not the .rpm one. I've asked Dell support for help, but I thought I'd ask here too. Has anyone had this problem or (even better) solved it? Is it possible to extract the PPD from the .deb version of the file? Any advice would be much appreciated.
