Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

To set up a printer configuration a printer description file (PPD file) is required. A printer description file is not a driver. For non-PostScript printers a driver is needed together with a PPD file which matches exactly to the particular driver. For PostScript printers, a PPD file alone is sufficient (except for older PostScript level 1 printer models). The PPD files are provided in the following sub-packages depending on which kind of driver software is needed: OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript provides PPDs which use Ghostscript built-in drivers. OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs provides PPDs which use the hpijs driver from HPLIP. OpenPrintingPPDs-postscript provides PPDs which need no driver.
