It's great that a PPD management tool is on the table. I have a thought on this:
1. Should PPD cache and the PPD cache management tool be visible to end user? . On Linux/CUPS, PPD files are put into /usr/share/cups/model and CUPS automatically refreshed the PPD list upon CUPS restart. . On Mac OS X, PPD files are located in /Library/Printers/PPDs/, and Mac OS X reloads the PPDs upon starting "Printer Setup Utility" . Cannot Solaris do the same? Read all PPD files and load it on the fly? (Only during printer installation. I don't think there'll be a big performance complain) . What is needed for Solaris 10 is a simple shell script that scans the PPD directory and subdirectories and generate a new PPD cache file. This message posted from opensolaris.org
