Package: foomatic-filters
Version: 3.0.2-3
Severity: normal

http://lprng.sourceforge.net/DISTRIB/RESOURCES/DOCS/5003.PPD_Spec_v4.1.pdf

I looked at the code of /usr/bin/foomatic-rip trying to find out why 'cat'
and not gs was being run bu foomatic.

it seams the trouble is that when reading the PPD file the "*Include"
directive is overlooked.  Also id dose not seam as thought the 'first
mach'
part of the specs is being held up, instead looked like 'last mach' or
'blend maches' was being used.
