No. '.ppd' files are '<p>ostscript <p>rinter <d>escription' files. They ontain 'device dependant information about a specific make/model of Postscript-capable printer. They consist of 'feature' names, 'values' for that feature, and the postscript code fragment that tells that printer how to use a particular 'value' for that particular feature. e.g. one can select the input paper tray by 'name' -- e.g. 'upper', 'lower', etc. -- without having to know whether trays are numbered starting at zero or one, or whether the numbering goes 'up' or 'down'. '.ppd' files are relevent _only_ if you are producing postscript output, _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
