The compressed PPD files on a local CUPS server are located in:
/usr/share/cups/model/
The used PPD files by CUPS server are located in:
/etc/cups/ppd
If your printer is on a remote CUPS server, you can easily download the PPD file to your client with
wget http://server_name_or_IP:631/printers/printer_queue_name>.ppd

The RPMFusion provides some free and non-free software for Fedora.
free – for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines) which the Fedora project cannot ship due to other reasons
nonfree – for redistributable software that is not Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines); this includes software with publicly available source-code that has “no commercial use”-like restrictions
To enable access to just free repository use the following command:
root# dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
To enable access to both the free and the nonfree repository use the following command:
root# dnf install http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
In order to play h.264 encoded videos the corresponding decoder comes with the following library: gstreamer1.0-libav so this library needs to be installed.
Disable the dir_index filesystem feature on the filesystem that is being exported from the NFS server.
root# tune2fs -O ^dir_index /dev/sdXY, where sdXY is your device.
To re-enable the dir_index feature use the command:
root# tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/sdXY, where sdXY is your device.
The benefit of non-repeating names (queue ID) is simpler logfile analysis and easier queue migration. And there is nothing wrong with the default settings 😉
New queue files are created with names such as 3Pt2mN2VXxznjll. These are encoded in a 52-character alphabet that contains digits (0-9), upper-case letters (B-Z) and lower-case letters (b-z). For safety reasons the vowels (AEIOUaeiou) are excluded from the alphabet. The name format is: 6 or more characters for the time in seconds, 4 characters for the time in microseconds, the ‘z’; the remainder is the file inode number encoded in the first 51 characters of the 52-character alphabet.
How this looks now:

Add a printer which has been installed on another CUPS server to a local CUPS server, so the print jobs will go to the local CUPS server and then will be sent to another CUPS server.
ipp://hostname_of_another_CUPS_server:631/printers/printer_queue_name
The IPP is the native protocol of CUPS: Therefore no extra daemon is needed to receive IPP print jobs. The CUPS daemon listens for IPP requests on port 631. Port 631 is the default port for the IPP. Depending on its configuration it also accepts SSL-encrypted IPP, usually on the SSL-port 443. IPP clients can be other machines running Windows, GNU/Linux, Unix, or MacOS X with CUPS.
On the Windows computer, go to Control Panel->Devices and Printers and choose to ‘Add a printer’. Next, choose ‘Select a shared printer by name’ and type in the location of the printer:
ipp://hostname:631/printers/printer_queue_name
To have Pasta create a log file, uncomment errorlogfile in pasta.cfg
cat $FND_TOP/resource/pasta_
%% ============== Error Log File =========================== %%
% This tells Pasta to create a log file. The default error
% output is stderr.
errorlogfile=pasta.log
