Most PPDs for Adobe based PostScript printers are available on Adobe's web
site - there are thousands of them.
Just need to put in the FAQ where to find them and how to download them to
a Netatalk server preserving correct line termination, etc.
Duplicating those would be a waste of time and space. You would also commit
yourself to version control - do you want more work than is necessary?
However, what would be nice if people that have customised PPD files for
GhostScript based printers, to make them available for distribution.
If the developers are interested, I have a PPD for the Canon BJ200 printer
(GhostScript). Contact me directly for more details.
