Bug description:
  I needed to print few tickets for travel. But as they did not appeared
  on my printer I took a look at http://localhost:631/ and discovered
  this:

  "The PPD version (5.2.7) is not compatible with Gutenprint
  5.2.8-pre1."

  Had to print to PDF and do printing from MS Windows laptop...

  [Impact] Printers used with Gutenprint do not work for all users who
  update from an older Ubuntu version to Precise.

  [Test Case] To reproduce: Upgrade from Gutenprint 5.2.7 to
  5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 does not update the PPD files of existing queues.
  To test, create a Gutenprint-based print queue on a system with 5.2.7
  then run

  grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd

  and see that the PPD files are of Gutenprint version 5.2.7. Update to
  5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 and run

  grep -i gutenprint /etc/cups/ppd/*.ppd

  The PPDs are still not upgraded. Update from 5.2.7 or
  5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2 to 5.2.8~pre1-0ubuntu2.1 and your PPD files get
  updated to 5.2.8pre1.

  [Regression Potential] Only change is the timestamp of one file. So
  regressions should not be possible.
