On the next screen you will see a description of the driver selected previously. This description is extracted from the actual PPD used.
For a real PostScript® printer never try to install a ‘Foomatic’ or ‘Gimp-Print’ PPD, even if it is offered. You won't be happy with it. Instead find the original PPD from the manufacturer, preferably the one written for Windows® NT and use it.
Some Linux® distributions have supplied for CUPS every possible combination of ghostscript filters and “foomatic” PPD files they could find on the net, Many of those are quite useless; they were generated a year ago, when the folks at www.linuxprinting.org made their first experiments with suppying third party PPDs for CUPS. Although dubbed “Alpha” at the time, these started to take a life of their own and can now be found at various places on the net, doing CUPS no favours.
If you are not sure which ones to use go to:
And ask for help. At a later stage a document detailing the differences of the different driver and PPD models will appear at http://kdeprint.sourceforge.net/ Watch out for this!
Via the Other... button you are able to retrieve any PPD located somewhere on your available file system.
