Huh.  I guess I missed the first part of the conversation; I thought
someone was looking for it...

Dunno.  FWIW, I have over 600 PPD's.  Not all of them are for printers.
Some cover such pseudo-printers as Acrobat Distiller.  Besides, what
does the network connection (or serial connection) matter?  The PPD
gives the output characteristics of the printer so that the printing
software can layout the page properly.  What surprises me is that I
*don't* have one for the ImageWriter...
