Hi
I am using a LaserWriter II NT and a Lexmark 4079 plus.
I opened the ppd files on the Macintosh in BBEdit and
saved them with Unix line breaks.
I copied the ppd's to the Linux box.
When I create a desktop printer on the Macintosh client
its selects the right ppd on the Macintosh. All I have
to do, is to tell which options are intalled on the
Lexmark (amount of RAM and harddisk).
