[lsb-discuss] Agreement on directory structure for printing

[Till Kamppeter]

Thank you for this, i have not seen that Wendy suggested something
completely different for /usr/local/. What I mean is this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Files created, downloaded, or modified by a system administrator.

         a. Installation path for PPD files
                 /usr/local/share/ppd/<supplier>/<manufacturer>

         b. Installation path for print drivers
                 /usr/local/lib/printdriver/<supplier>
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This way it is the very same structure as in /usr/ and/opt/.
