Using ppd files

In some cases there is a need for customizing certain printer properties and that can be achieved by using a ppd file for that particular printer. PPD files are managed in the PrinterControl/EnhancedPrinting/Manage PPD system portlet. In Windows, these files are usually found under C:\Windows\System32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3 or a subdirectory of C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Connect PPD to printer in the PrinterControl/EnhancedPrinting/Printers portlet by entering Model Id. Press Save, and then Printer Properties to do the PPD ↔ IPP mapping.
