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?
no, you make a new print queue with the name you desire and perhaps remove the one with the undesired name. http://localhost:631/ or YaST2 -> Hardware -> Printer
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?
http://localhost:631/ or YaST2 -> Hardware -> Printer or kprinter or xpp
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?
