Hi,

i cant repair the PPD file which is a part of Epson eplijs driver.I get the following mesasage:
Checking file "./Epson-EPL-6200L-epl6200l-cups.ppd"
./Epson-EPL-6200L-epl6200l-cups.ppd: FAIL

repairing that file might be tough and/or tricky if you don't know what it was supposed to be like originally, maybe a text editor set to show line numbers and you can scroll to the line numbers with the errors on them...

Take the advice
copying to a text file and switching lines on gives this bit


*OpenUI *FlowControl/Flow Control: PickOne
*DefaultFlowControl: Off
*FlowControl libieee1284/ParPort (libieee1284): ""
*FlowControl libusb/USB (libusb): ""
*FlowControl Off/Off: "" *****This is line 129*******
*FlowControl ParPort (kernel _dev_lp0)/ParPort (kernel dev_lp0): ""
*FlowControl ParPort (kernel dev_lp1)/ParPort (kernel dev_lp1): ""
*FlowControl USB (kernel dev_usb_lp0)/USB (kernel dev_usb_lp0): ""
*FlowControl USB (kernel dev_usb_lp1)/USB (kernel dev_usb_lp1): ""
*CloseUI: *FlowControl

So I can't see an illegal space in there but depending on how you pasted this to your post it could be another line thats the problem ie if you have a couple of empty lines at the top of the page which you didn't select to copy

I copied the file withKate and pasted it correctly. Even when removing this line, I get then that next line in row has illegal white space character.

I just had a similar issue, in my case (custom page sizes) it was because the left part of the "/" column contained spaces. Sounds like it has to be formatted like "alias/label", alias without spaces, label with spaces if wanted.

"Necrobump"
So what? However the question may come from the dark ages, the answer can still be relevant. PPD files are yet used nowadays.

At first, it is just a warning, the original poster probably solved it already or not interested any more. From the other hand, yes, a useful solution still can be ok.
There are several lines where the left part contains spaces, so your explanation is not clear (at least for me).

I meant the whole left part after "*FlowControl " (i.e. "ParPort (kernel _dev_lp0)") mustn't contain spaces. I spent a significant time to find out the issue, so others could benefit from it.
