This is to be expected. No Gutenprint PPDs were found in /etc/cups/ppd, so there was nothing to update. This is unrelated to the PPDs being installed or not--these are the PPDs for the print queues you set up, not the available PPDs for all printers. > After this, no ppds are installed.

With a recent version of CUPS (1.2.x), gutenprint no longer needs to generate PPDs; they are generated on the fly by /usr/lib/cups/driver/gutenprint.5.0. As a result, cups-genppd is obsolete and never used. To fix the bug you are reporting, we can 1) Remove cups-genppd 2) Create the missing directories Given that cups-genppd is no longer needed, I will probably go with (1). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
