Thank you, Olav.

Your advice is very helpful.
But I found another problem.
I will explain the details.

First of all, the 1284 ID of my USB Printer is the following:

    MFG:Foo;CMD:ABCPJL;MDL:ABC-DE5;DES:FooABC-DE5;CLS:PRINTER

My Tioga PM sets printer browser values like:

    PrinterBrowserInfo: "ABC-DE5"
    PrinterBrowserDeviceID: "MDL:ABC-DE5"

And I did the following commands after installing my driver.

I did one more try.
My PM should support two printer models, "ABC-DE5" & "ABC-DE7".
I changed printer browser values like:

    PrinterBrowserInfo: "ABC-DE"
    PrinterBrowserDeviceID: "MDL:ABC-DE"

In this case, it does not work, even though after clearing PM caches.
(Actually, my old PM set these values.)

This works on Puma & Jaguar.
On Panther, I must add it manually from PSU add window.

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

PSU automatic queue creation for my Tioga USB driver does not work on Panther.
(Of cource, it works well on Puma & Jaguar.)

I've found the following mail, but no answer for this.

Is this Panter bug?
Or does anyone know the solution?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

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)?
