Bug#396992: gnome-cups-manager: gutenprint drivers are missing and no test page

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.31-3
Severity: normal

While I could set up my printer EPSON PM-A950 through foomatic-gui using
PM-A900 menu entry (it is guten print driver), I do not see its entry in
gnome-cups-manager.   After installing it with foomatic-gui, the
printer icon shows up in gnome-cups-manager but it can not print test
page.

I can print from normal application and test page of foomatic-gui so my
printer is set up OK.

gnome-cups-manager seems to be incompatible with gutenprint or broken
under gutenprint mechanism.  I only see old UNIPrint drivers and really
old drivers.  iThis means there is no recent printer support through 
gnome-cups-manager.  Quite useless.
