Michael Weiss ea23f8bb07 cups service: Automatically detect Gutenprint in drivers
Additional CUPS drivers can be added via "services.printing.drivers" but
Gutenprint was an exception. It was possible to add a Gutenprint
derivation to that list and it would work at first but unlike the other
drivers Gutenprint requires a script to be run after each update or any
attempt to print something would simply fail and an error would show up
in the jobs queue (http://localhost:631/jobs/):
"The PPD version (5.2.11) is not compatible with Gutenprint 5.2.13.
Please run
`/nix/store/7762kpyhfkcgmr3q81v1bbyy0bjhym80-gutenprint-5.2.13/sbin/cups-genppdupdate'
as administrator."
This is due to state in "/var/lib/cups/ppd" and one would need to run
"/nix/store/.../bin/cups-genppdupdate -p /var/lib/cups/ppd" manually.
The alternative was to enable the following option:
"services.printing.gutenprint" but this had two disadvantages:
1) It is an exception that one could be unaware of or that could
potentially cause some confusion.
2) One couldn't use a customized Gutenprint derivation in
"services.printing.drivers" but would instead have to overwrite
"pkgs.gutenprint".

This new approach simply detects a Gutenprint derivation in
"services.printing.gutenprint" by checking if the meta set of a
derivation contains "isGutenprint = true". Therefore no special
exception for Gutenprint would be required and it could easily be
applied to other drivers if they would require such a script to be run.
