Oh, no, someone does, and is probably quite grateful. So don't

My whole line was that I rememberd setting up a LW Select on the
other side of a Linux machine running netatalk five or six years
ago, not being able to come up with a PPD for the printer, just
using the Generic LW 8 driver, and being fine.

Well, PPDs didn't really come into the Mac OS scheme of things until
networked printers and the LW 8 driver. Just whether the LW Selects
predate that or not is questionable. I figured that they (like the
ImageWriters) wouldn't have PPDs, so I didn't look too hard.

You have StyleWriter PPDs?
