[Bug 52814] Re: HP DeskJet 7xxC, 820C or 1000C does not work out of the box

[Pascal De Vuyst]

Commenting out the version line (#version) makes pnm2ppa generate ppa
output for 7xx, I forgot to add that in my test result table. Commenting
out the version line was reported to be working by hansen12345 in bug
#37660.

pnm2ppa is installed by default in dapper, it is a dependency of meta package ubuntu-desktop.
But you have an interesting point here, I did:
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall pnm2ppa
and after reinstallation my /etc/pnm2ppa.conf also contains "version 710" by default.

My original /etc/pnm2ppa.conf after dapper installation contained "version " causing printers not to work. So there appears to be another cause for this problem...
Could it be that there is a problem with ubuntu installer causing misconfiguration of pnm2ppa package, how do we find out?
