[Bug 42965] Re: Can't add a printer in KDE: parser error?

[TuxFan]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kdeprint
  
  I originally reported this in #35581, but there was many bugs under that
  bug id and the "original" got fixed so here goes...
  
  When I try to add a printer (using CUPS as the print system) I get this
  message after choosing the right driver (works well on Breezy):
  
  ----8<----
  Error - KDE Control Module
  
  Unable to load the requested driver:
-                                                                                                                                                             Unable to create the Foomatic driver
+ 
+ Unable to create the Foomatic driver
  [HP-LaserJet_1320,Postscript]. Either that driver does
  not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation.
  ----8<-----
  
  I get the same error no matter if I'm in the administrator mode or not.
  
  If I start systemsettings from command line, I can see this:
  
  ----8<----
  *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08178838 ***
  Entity: line 2058: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document
    </printer>
                   ^
  printer 'HP-LaserJet_1320' not found!
  kdeprint: WARNING: PPD syntax error, PPD parse failed
  ----8<----
  
  All this with the latest dapper versions:
  kdeprint 3.5.2-0ubuntu19
  kcontrol 3.5.2-0ubuntu19
  kde-systemsettings 0.0svn20060502-0ubuntu1
