File: README
Created 17 July 1990
This is a README file that is to be transferred with PPD files.
PostScript(R) Printer Description (a.k.a. PPD) files are just text files
containing information about special features available on PostScript
printers. These files are in a very specific format that can be read
by software applications. The information is used by printer driver
software for decision making purposes or to invoke particular features
of the printer.
There is one PostScript Printer Description file for each individual
version of each PostScript printer (although more than one version can
be combined in a single file if they are functionally identical).
A file called "FileName.MAP" should be included with every release of
PPD files. This file contains a mapping between the 8 character file
names and the PostScript printers that they correspond to.
