Subject: PPR: Supported printers

Hello,

  Does the PPD directory at trincoll.edu with its hundreds of PPD files
means that PPR works equally good with all of them?    From your
experience, do you think it is realistically possible to extend a succesful
printer interface with one printer, to a lot of printers or can there be
drastic differences in the, say, quality of status messages?  What I mean
by printer interface is programatically sending a file to the printer then
reading ppop progress and ppop status to monitor the job.  This works quite
well with a HP LJ5 SiMX.  Now can I assume a working of same quality if I
change the printer for either a Lexmark, an Epson, a QMS, or a T ektronix
PostScript printer ?  Or even a PostScript HP of different model?

Regards,

Alain
