    Oops, let me clarify that line....	The PD DeskJet driver does not have
    a .ppd file (or, if it does, it doesn't work under 3.0) ... I simply
    copied the NeXT laser .PPD file so I could setup a print manager entry,
    then modified the printcap to use the PD driver instead of the
    postscript driver.	NeXT does not distribute a DeskJet ppd file.
