What would you use that for?
ppd:s are used to tell the client the capabilities of the printer and also
provide the client with printer specific code to achieve a certain behavior
from the printer.
The client can then tailor its postscript code to have the printer produce the
wanted output.
I fail to see how pap could use this.
