Re: LPR printing backend and missing ppd:s

[Chad Hardin]

Thanks, I will be coming back and working on this stuff again.  I just 
can't right now for personal reasons.

Anyhow, this PPD will come in handy for the cups backend as well.  
Actually, it may come in handy at the layer above it.  This is because 
the user may not have a printer, yet the application will still expect 
information as if one was there.
