My F20 notebook has files like:
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/HP/hp_officejet_9100_series.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_color_mfp_x585.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_color_x555-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_251dw_printer-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_276dw_mfp-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_451_series-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_476_576_series-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_551_series-ps.ppd.gz
/usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-officejet_pro_8000_enterprise_a811a-ps.ppd.gz
Whereas my server so far only has the following HP ppds
/usr/share/ppd/cupsfilters/HP-Color_LaserJet_CM3530_MFP-PDF.ppd
/usr/share/ppd/cupsfilters/HP-PhotoSmart_Pro_B8300-hpijs-pdftoijs.ppd
I tried a 'yum whatprovides */hp-officejet' but nothing.
