Product: HP Officejet Pro 7740
Operating System: Linux

Installation of this printer fails, because of errors in the ppd-file.

Using cupstestppd to verify this, shows up with the following:

 

$ cupstestppd tmp/hp-officejet_pro_7740_series.ppd

 

tmp/hp-officejet_pro_7740_series.ppd: FAIL
**FAIL** Unable to open PPD file - Ungültiger Option-Keyword-String on line 303.
REF: Seite 19, Kap. 3.3.

 

This line belongs to a definition of a Custom/Custom pagesize.

After deleting this line, some more errors belonging to custom parameters show up.

 

I've checked the ppds out of all hplip-3.19.x packages within gentoo and fedora.

I'm not sure if this error is caused by an error in those ppds (I can't see any fault in the text or format of the files) or by an update of the printer software.

Greets,

Just for completeness:

The tested printer software is:

CUPS 2.2.12 on Fedora

and

CUPS 2.3.0 on Gentoo

and both have the same problem.
