I know this issue has been tossed around before, but it still seems like a
Panther bug to me. My USB printer is added automatically from Print Center
(Jaguar) but not Printer Setup Utility (Panther). The DeviceID string is
"MFG:Kodak;CMD:KOD;MDL:8500 Digital Photo Printer;CLS:Printer;DES:Kodak
Professional;", and we are using the string "MDL:8500 Digital Photo
Printer" (though I accidentally used "MODEL:..." initially).
The same thing happens with a different printer whose DeviceID string is
"MFG:Kodak;CMD:CPDNPA001;MODEL:Kodak 8500;CLASS:Printer;DES:Kodak
8500;COMMENT:001208-3;". I modified CreatePrinterTickets so the
kPMPrinterLongNameKey, kPMPrinterShortNameKey, and kPMMakeAndModelNameKey
all use "Kodak 8500". As a result, the PPD file (created by adding the
printer manually) contains *Manufacturer: "Kodak", *Product: "(Kodak
8500)", and *ModelName:, *ShortNickName:, and *NickName: values of "Kodak
8500".
Does anyone know what's going on? (Paul Danbold wrote on 5 Nov 2003
regarding this issue, and he stated the PPD file's *Product key should
match the DeviceID MDL key. Could the issue be our DeviceID string uses
MODEL instead (for printer #2)?
