Running those portions of the scripts manually did create the media.db and ppr.conf.sample files. I copied the .sample file to ppr.conf, then went to http://www.linuxprinting.com/show_printer.cgi=recnum=59648 to generated a ppd for the printer I am using and now it is all working fine. Thanks for the help. I assume that I ran into some sort of error when running the fixit script. I will try to go back and run it again and see if I find out where I went wrong.
