The list can be generated with the above lpinfo -mĪll these ppd files are 'template' ppd files with some default settings, say paper size "Letter", basically meaning the ppd will work out of the box but unlikely satisfy your requirements. has the foomatic engine with associated databaseĬUPS has the ability to read these databases and show what ppd file it can access for configuration work. HP engine has the drv Database (my terminology) This has to do with rationalisation but also means it is no longer easy just to scan directories and find a particular ppd file.
I have on a number of occasions done tweaks here just to get a printer to respond properly to options available.īecause of the shear number of ppd files available attempts have been made to have database engines which will manufacture a ppd file on request, given a model number. In most of the directories above one can recognise individual ppd files, the internal of these text files are quite readable and to a degree more or less understandable, depending on your level of knowledge. Code: model]$ ls -l /usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPDĭrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 KONICA_MINOLTA
