[ddp] foomatic-filters-ppds : linuxprinting.org printer support - prebuilt PPD files

[daily-debian-package at enix.org]

Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package
foomatic-filters-ppds, which is part of the text section, and
maintained by Chris Lawrence <lawrencc at debian.org>. 

This package contains : linuxprinting.org printer support - prebuilt
PPD files.

Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up
common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems).
It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files
sent to the printer.

This package provides Adobe-compliant PPD files for *every single
printer* supported by Foomatic.  Unless you want to be able to select
your printer from the web interface of CUPS or PPR, you almost
certainly don't want this package.  Instead, you can use the
"foomatic-configure" script in foomatic-db-engine, the "foomatic-gui"
package, or the web interface for getting a particular PPD file at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

This package *does not* provide manufacturer-supported PPD files for
PostScript printers; those are included in the linuxprinting.org-ppds
package.

Again, you probably don't want this package unless you have a lot of
disk space to spare and/or using the CUPS or PPR web interface to set
up your printer queue is important to you.
