Obtaining the PPD file
If the manufacturer of your printer does not provide a PPD, download the Windows PostScript drivers and extract the PPD file. Put the PPD file in the AC_SERVER_HOME/operation/print/ppds. List the file in operation/print/ppds/driver_mapping.
For example, to use a the PPD file hp9000.ps with the iHub printer HP LaserJet 9000, the PPD file must be in AC_SERVER_HOME/operation/print/ppds/ and in the same directory, the driver_mapping file must contain an entry similar to the following one:
hp9000.ps: "HP LaserJet 9000"
After updating the Linux system, restart the cluster node for the changes to take effect. Specify the name of the PPD in Configuration Console—Advanced view by choosing Printers—Add Printer.
