- File: README
- Created 22 June 1993
-
- This is a README file that is to be transferred with PPD files.
-
- PostScript(R) Printer Description (a.k.a. PPD) files are just text files
- containing information about special features available on PostScript
- printers. These files are in a very specific format that can be read
- by software applications. The information is used by printer driver
- software for decision making purposes or to invoke particular features
- of the printer.
-
- There is one PostScript Printer Description file for each individual
- version of each PostScript printer (although more than one version can
- be combined in a single file if they are functionally identical).
-
- A file called "_names.txt" should be included with every release of
- PPD files. This file contains a mapping between the 8 character file
- names and the PostScript printers that they correspond to.
-
- The PPD files on this disk have been compressed using the PKZIP utility.
- Use the PKUNZIP utility to decompress the PPD files.
