1. Installation path for ppd files
/usr/share/ppd/<supplier>/<manufacturer>/
2. PPD file naming convention
<MFGString>-<MDLString>-<driver>-<language>.ppd
3. Installation path for print drivers
/usr/lib/printdrivers/<supplier>
The contents of this directory are entirely determine
by the supplier. The path to a driver is found by using
an absolute path in the ppd file.
4. It was agreed that install scripts be written in Bourne Shell
without any extensions.
5. We decided to eliminate /usr/lib/printdrivers/bin
