If I remember correctly, the problem is that PPD is not compressed as
individual gzip files, but "embedded" in the driver command that is used to
obtain a specific ppd. See: /usr/sbin/lpinfo --make-and-model '.' -m

I thought we had a bug report open on tdeprint not supporting compressed

report should be filed.
Regarding the conflict, the problem is tdeprint will silently fail if the
compressed PPDs are installed (it thinks there are no PPDs on the system
in this case). At minimum an error message stating that the uncompressed
PPDs need to be installed should be added to tdeprint so that the user
knows *why* tdeprint is failing. There should also be a manual "Rebuild
Driver Database" button added somewhere in tdeprint.
I wonder how hard it would be to add compressed PPD support. It seems
that tdeprint would just need to use the gzip ioslave instead of reading
each PPD directly...

If I understand well, the only effect is that with this package does not
work
the setup printer queue in TDE Control Center? However, the user can
still set up the printer using the CUPS web interface. It is really
useful to define this conflict package? Dne út 2. září 2014 Lisi Reisz napsal(a):

Yes, Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu Trusty, so given APT sources should
work
correctly.
I have been struggling with the awful Linux Mint and MATE ever since. I
felt that I must move beyond my comfort zone. Debian and TDE is so easy
and so familiar. So for my new box for playing streaming media on my
television I installed Linux Mint 17 with Mate.
I have made myself give it a fair chance. But I can stand it no longer.
So I bit the bullet, edited my sources.list, updated and tried to
install
TDE 14.
This is the result:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

20140410-0ubuntu1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) foomatic-db-compressed-ppds
Keep the following packages at their current version:
2) kubuntu-desktop-trinity [Not Installed]

Help!!
I hope that I have copied and pasted enough. As I say, I am struggling.
Mate, anyhow in its Linux Mint version, is almost invisible. (To me, at
any rate. But I can't use anyone else's eyes. ;-) )
I could, of course, simply wipe the lot and install my beloved Wheezy
and
TDE 3.13.2.2. But that would be defeatist.
Thanks,
