Description

Hey.

Kyocera offers MIT licensed PPDs amongst others for the:

  • ECOSYS M5521cdn
  • ECOSYS M5521cdw
  • ECOSYS M5526cdn
  • ECOSYS M5526cdw
  • ECOSYS P5021cdn
  • ECOSYS P5021cdw
  • ECOSYS P5026cdn
  • ECOSYS P5026cdw

which can be downloaded from https://dlc.kyoceradocumentsolutions.eu/index/service/dlc.false.driver.ECOSYSP5021CDW._.EN.html (at the very bottom):

Linux driver | 8.1602 | 833.11 KB | Linux_8.1602_EC..._P5021_5026.zip

Would be nice if these could by shipped out of the box by OpenPrinting.

There are PPDs for EU/Global version (which apparently do really differ) as well as for different languages for each of the models.

Cheers,
Chris.
