Comment 3 for bug 115249

In Feisty you need to install the openprinting-ppds-extra package for Savin PPDs, to save space on the desktop/alternate cd these are not included by default (see below).

Dapper had the foomatic-filters-ppds package installed by default with static PPDs (including Savin PPDs).
Since Edgy dynamically generated PPDs from foomatic-db are used, you probably manually installed the foomatic-filters-ppds package for static PPDs or you did a distribution upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, otherwise Savin printers are not listed either. In Edgy you could also install linuxprinting.org-ppds and linuxprinting.org-ppds-extra for static PPDs for PostScript printers.
In Feisty foomatic-filters-ppds has been removed, static PPDs for PostScript printer are in openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra now.

foomatic-db (20070207-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * Renamed the packages linuxprinting.org-ppds and
    linuxprinting.org-ppds-extra into openprinting-ppds and
    openprinting-ppds-extra

foomatic-db (20060918-0ubuntu3) edgy; urgency=low

  * Splitted linuxprinting.org-ppds into
    linuxprinting.org-ppds (most commonly needed PPDs) and
    linuxprinting.org-ppds-extra (PPDs for less common printers). This
    is done to save space on the live/installation CD.
