   Importing a PPD printer driver fails   
   19 Nov 10 11:45:13   
   
   From: piesse    
      
   I am still struggling to install my HP2055ND under CUPS   
   I upgraded to eCS 2   
   Installation of the printer in the CUPS web inteface went well   
      
   However, I am unable to create a WPS object for it.   
   The printer is not listed in the driver list, so I try to import the PPD    
   driver.   
      
   However, the importing program fails with:
