This is very curious. I am trying to setup a Lexmark T520
laserprinter. When I use the PPD from the Windows driver (the same PPD
is also found here: ) in YasT it gives an error and does not permit
use of the PPD file:

Problem is its a valid PPD file and if I setup the printer with an
http-browser at localhost:631 it works fine. Also I can not find any
documentation about this error anyplace on the internet. This isn't a
cheap host-based or "winprinter" its a "real" printer that supports
Postscript (hence the PPD)

1) The PPD-checking needs to be fixed
2) The error message needs to be changed to express something
meaningful or the errormessage needs to be carefully documented.
