Zebra driver not found

Confirmed. Zebra drivers are not in Lucid either. They were present and working in 8.04.

I get Zebra drivers on Lucid:

till@till:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$ lpinfo -m | grep -i zebra
drv:///sample.drv/zebracpl.ppd Zebra CPCL Label Printer
drv:///sample.drv/zebraep1.ppd Zebra EPL1 Label Printer
drv:///sample.drv/zebraep2.ppd Zebra EPL2 Label Printer
drv:///sample.drv/zebra.ppd Zebra ZPL Label Printer
till@till:~/ghostscript/gpl/testfiles$

The command:

lpinfo -m | grep -i zebra

show nothing on my Lucid machine, or on my 9.10 box. Both are 64bit editions. The Lucid machine was installed from the "alternate" CD image, if that makes a difference.

I got my printer working by downloading a ppd from Apple's website, but I'm thinking this should be included by default on the desktop editions. (like it was in 8.04, etc.)

I have label printer Zebra Z4m plus.
Please help me launch printer!
in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat exact same problem:
"lpinfo -m | grep -i zebra" show nothing.
If add a printer through GUI, driver not found :(
In Ubuntu 9.10 everything is ok.

Can everyone who has this problem run the command

dpkg -l | grep cups

and post the output here?

Is cups-ppdc installed?

I found ppd file for my Zebra printer and he is printing labels ! Big thanks Till Kamppeter!!!!

Problem is that CUPS needs the /usr/share/cups/ppdc/*.h files of the cups-ppdc package and the cups-ppdc package is not installed on all systems.

Quick workaround: Install cups-ppdc

Suggestion for an SRU: Make the cups or cups-common package depend on cups-ppdc

Correct fix for Natty: Reorganize files in the CUPS packages. all in /usr/share/cups/ppdc/ and the /usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv packages belong into the cups package.

Fix for Maverick is now uploaded and waits for approval.

Accepted cups into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

SRU verification for Maverick:
I have reproduced the problem with cups 1.4.4-6ubuntu2 in maverick and have verified that the version of cups 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.1 in -proposed fixes the issue. cups-ppdc is installed together with cups and the Zebra drivers are available when setting up a new Printer.

Marking as verification-done

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.4.4-6ubuntu2.1

---------------
cups (1.4.4-6ubuntu2.1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * debian/control: Added dependency on "cups-ppdc" package to the "cups"
    package, so that the PPDs of the drivers which come with CUPS get built
    (LP: #485383).

Copied to natty.

FYI, cups-ppdc was in universe, so this now requires adjusting the override. I am doing that now.
