invalid printinfo data, NetBSD

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

I did some tracing about the problem that I get invalid X/Y sizes.

Breakpoint 3, -[NSScanner initWithString:] (self=0xba01e644, 
_cmd=0xbb74cd90,
    aString=0x0) at NSScanner.m:199
199           NSLog(@"Scanner initialised with nil string");
(gdb) bt

#8  0xbb94827d in -[NSPrintInfo initWithDictionary:] (self=0xba0fff64,

the reason of the warning is quickly found:
(gdb) up
#2  0xbb9457cd in -[NSPrinter(PPDParsingPrivate) 
loadPPDAtPath:symbolValues:inclusionSet:] (self=0xba1f6944, 
_cmd=0xbbb63340, ppdPath=0xbac7e634,
    ppdSymbolValues=0xba01e5e4, inclusionSet=0xba01e614) at NSPrinter.m:917
917                              [ppdString stringByAppendingString: 
@"\n"]];
(gdb) p ppdString
$1 = (struct NSString *) 0x0

the file is:
(gdb) po ppdPath
/Local/Library/PostScript/PPD/English.lproj/Generic-PostScript_Printer-Postscript.ppd

The file is just not there, I have no "PostScript" subdirectory in 
/Local/Library

I have it in /System/Library

(gdb) po printerEntry
{Host = localhost; Note = "Automatically Generated"; PPDPath = 
"/Local/Library/PostScript/PPD/English.lproj/Generic-PostScript_Printer-Postscript.ppd"; 
Type = Unknown; }

the name of the printer looked for is "Unnamed". But that shouldn't 
matter, this is a Local vs. System problem. Where is it initialized/set, 
so I can investigate it?
