Hi Don, I cannot find Konica Minolta printers' PPD from linuxprinting.org.
http://linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/ I have tried the PPD file which inside Konica Minolta Page Pro 9100's Windows driver, but it doesn't rely on GhostScript that means I cannot print out Chinese PostScript document with customized GhostScript installation. I just wonder whether it's possible to create my own PPD file for one printer. I will try to ask it on CUPS or linuxprinting.org. Thanks.
