Ever since I upgraded to NS 3.0 - both enscript and the print manager
have been complaining that the postscript printer description
files are missing for our two remote printers.

The documentation for enscript mentions it but there seems to be
no description of what a PPD actually is, or where it ought
to be. Printing seems to be dying in mid stream so I imagine
the information in these files is important.

Does anyone know anything about this ???
