Specifying PPD Files When Setting Up a Printer by Using Solaris Print Manager

Solaris Print Manager includes a Use PPD files option that enables you to specify a PPD file when creating a new print queue or modifying an existing print queue. If you do not want to specify a PPD file, you can deselect this option.

PPD files are not required for printers that already contain the RIP feature.

When setting up a printer that uses a PPD file, you are required to specify following information:

• Printer make

• Printer model

• Printer driver
