When I try to import a printer "driver" into spadmin it looks for files with a
suffix of ".PS".  As the PPD files that come with CUPS (www.cups.org) all have a
suffix of ".ppd", it would be nice if those were recognized as printer "drivers"
as well.

I am currently successfully using a CUPS PPD file for my OpenOffice printing, so
your .PS files and CUPS' .ppd files obviously contain the same data.

Hi Falko,
is this something for you?
Comment 2 falko.tesch 2003-09-29 10:57:02 UTC 
Since we plan to integrate ourselves more tightly to existing
priniting systems under Unix (namely CUPS) this issue becomes obsolete.
That's why I put it on INVALID and cLOSED (there is currently no issue
to put it on duplicate to)
