I have a few questions regarding Adobe's PPD (Postscript Printer Description)
files.

1. If I change the password in the printer, how should I record it in
   the PPD file? Adobe suggests me not to change any piece of the
   information in the PPD file. Should this suggestion be followed
   for the exitserver password also?

2. If I want to have a spooler (suppose I'm writing my own) make use
   of the various emulations available in most Postscript printers,
   such as HP Laserjet+, Diablo 630 and HP-GL, how should I add that
   information to the PPD files? Is it even "legal" to extend the PPD
   files in this way?

I hope that someone would be willing to respond to these questions.
