Could someone explain why to use a PPD file, you must install it with a PostScript printer driver, such as the Adobe PostScript printer driver called AdobePS�, instead of using the printer install process native to Windows (XP). Thanks.

You could use a PPD file with the native printer install. However,
installing a printer in Windows XP is done via an INF file. You would
have to create an INF file, that lists the printer, the location of
the driver and the PPD file, and other things.  None of this is
impossible, but it is not very accessible. Hence, the AdobePS
installer.  In Windows XP the driver software installed is the same in
either case.
