Hi Andrew,
Thanks so much for this insight, but please let me ask another
question: Do you use FreeBSD? The reason is I do not seem to find any path
that contains /ppds/*.ppd.
Hope to hear again from you...
=>Here's a sample papd.conf file:
=>
=>My Printer:\
=> :pr=|/usr/bin/lpr -Pmyprinter:\
=> :pd=/etc/atalk/ppds/hp8100.ppd:
=>
=>Printer 2:\
=> :pr=|/usr/bin/lpr -Pprinter2:\
=> :pd=/etc/atalk/ppds/hp4500.ppd:
=>
=>This will create printers called "My Printer" and "Printer 2" in the
=>chooser on the macs. Print jobs from the mac will be piped to
=>/usr/bin/lpr. Papd will look in the PPD file specified for information
=>about the printer's capabilities, should the mac ask (color supported,
=>postscript level, etc).
