I have been considering putting in the ability to use PPD files. However, I once again come up with the copyright problem.
Question: is anybody, anywhere, setting up an archive for PPD files that allows unhidered access to them? No copyright, redistribution, etc., problems? If so, then I will add the magic to ifhp:
[ printer ] ppd_file /path_to_ppd_file
How about writing a program to create a PPD file automatically by querying the printer?
I think Adobe had or has something like this. One sees references to it in the comments of some PPD files.
I got part way through writing one myself, but I eventually found another way to do what I needed done.
Some of the commercial PPDs seem _way_ more complicated than they need to be.
