If the printer indicates it is HBPL but does not run under foo2hbpl2, then it may possibly be an earlier version of HBPL which we call ver1, based on earlier work done ~2014 with a Dell-1250c as a base reference.

I noticed that running a fresh ubuntu or other live USB distro, and then plugging in my printer would indicate my printer was loaded successfully, but failed to run. On further inspection, the driver that really got loaded was the next in line in the list from foomatic-db, so in my case, even though it indicated loading the Xerox 6010N, the driver that was loaded was Xerox 6100 Afterwards, loading foo2zjs didn't help correct redirection to 6010N but remained at 6100. This addition atleast gets the right ppd file loaded even though foo2zjs isn't loaded yet. This PR is related to OpenPrinting/foo2zjs#24 |
