Hi Paul,

These files define the capabilities of a printer. You can download the
appropriate ppd file from linuxprinting.org or (sometimes) from the
vendor's site. They are just plain text files, so if you want to know
what's in them just fire up vim and take a look. One of the packages
using ppd files is cups, might that be the one you're thinking about?
