These questions below concern cups and lpd internals, not so much which GUI to use and how. Of the two printer files (*.ppd files) in my /etc/cups/ppd/, one works and the other doesn't. Doing a "diff" on the two files, I see no significant difference between them, just things like page size, media type, and variables related to color. The one that works is owned by root. The one that doesn't is owned by lp. Could that be the reason? Also, I'd like to change the name of the working printer. As far as I've been able to find, there's no GUI for doing this. Can I just rename (i.e. mv) the ppd file? And... I'd like to change the *DefaultPageSize: from A4 to Letter. Can I just hand-edit the ppd file to do this? And then I'd have to likewise change *DefaultPageRegion and *DefaultImageableArea and *DefaultPaperDimension, yes? And say I get a nicely working printer and want to change just a few minor parameters, like print quality. Could I just copy the working ppd file and thereby create another printer? Finally (for now anyway), is it permissible to put comments into a ppd file, i.e., lines which begin with "*%"?
