Description-en: HP Postscript Printer Definition (PPD) files
Because PostScript is just a page description language,
there is a need to provide a mechanism for a print spooler to
customize the PostScript Job to the actual printer device.
.
A PPD (PostScript Printer Definitions) specify the device specific
PostScript commands needed to utilize printer features (such as
printing quality, paper tray, duplex printing).
.
This package contains some PPDs for HP printers that are not in
package linuxprinting.org-ppds
