Postscript Printer Description file rejected as non-compliant?

Hi,

I wish to make some local changes to my printer description. I read in the documentation, that I would be advised to use a customization file.

I have tried to use the minimal example given in that document, but my OS (SuSE 11.3, via the YaST/CUPS utilities) rejects it as "non-complient"?

This is my customization file:

*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"

*%My local customization file. Filename: custom.ppd

*Include: "default.ppd"

*%End of my customization file

The file referenced in the *Include: statement is in the same folder as the custom file (/etc/cups/ppd).

Any suggestions will be most welcome, Martin

Thank you. At least I can be content that it was not my fault

Quite frankly, I don't know of any standard software that supports that feature of the PPD specification.

CUPS (up to and including 1.4.5) does not process the "*Include" keyword.
