PPD Postscipt Printer Description. A PPD file is a simple formatted text file
that contains a description of the printers features and the corresponding
PostScipt ‘code’ needed to activate each feature. Apple LaserWrite driv-
ers and application programs such as Adobe PageMaker can use PPD
files. With a OOD file, many of the printing features of a network printer
can be made available to users. However advanced features such as
LAN Fax, Accounting and Exception Page Programming cannot be pro-
vided.
PPD Minidrivers PPD minidrivers are available in Windows operating systems (from Win-
dows 95 onwards). With these, a Xerox - supplied PPD file is used in
conjunction with an operating system supplied driver ton create a Post-
Script driver tailored for a specific device. In windows 95/98, a driver pro-
vided by this method has lamentations and not all devices features can
be made available to the user. With Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000, it
is possible to make more features available by using a user interface ren-
dering plug - in. In this document, if the driver is to be provided with If no
plug-ins are provided, then it is called a standard minidriver.
