Don't worry Dov.

If you have an Epson inkjet printer, it doesn't use a PPD under
Windows, but the Epson driver. You can however buy a software
RIP from Birmy or Epson that converts Postscript into printer
specific language. For other applications this printer apears now
as a Postscript printer. Therefor the RIP installs also PPD files
that can be imported into Quark.

MACOSX and Linux are Postscript-based rather than GDI. Therefor
all applications produce Postscript. All printers appear as
Postscript printers. If a printer is not a Postscript printer then
its PPD contains a call for a driver. Ghostscript, the most common
software RIP is used to convert each Postscript file into a Bitmap
raster that will be converted into printer specific file.

You can use a Linux computer with CUPS as a print server for
Windows client. You would then install the PPDs used by CUPS
on your Windows client.
