[Bug 39976] Re: Installing printer with slash "/" in driver name fails

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 32085 ***

As a workaround, I made a copy of the PPD file I wished to use and then editted the new copy - the diff is below.

cp /usr/share/ppd/linuxprinting.org-gs-builtin/Generic/Generic-PCL_6_PCL_XL_Printer-pxlmono.ppd /usr/share/ppd/linuxprinting.org-gs-builtin/Generic/Generic-PCL_6_PCL_XL_Printer-pxlmono-tjwh.ppd
