I believe that printer-specific information such as this is supposed to be
retrieved from a PPD file.

But since each printer on the system/network, even if they are of the same
type, would need its own PPD file, I am tempting to use the Adobe-supplied
PPD files (they can be retrieved from the archive-server@adobe.com) as
templates and then copy the appropriate PPD file to a new file with the
same name as the printer (ie, ps00, ps01 etc at our site) and use those.
I believe that I would then be able to freely change the exitserver password
in those files without breaking any conformance rules.

Right or wrong?
