Yes, there are probably other files which the PPD requires.
In addition, you may want to look at PrinterSetup which supports the
creation of print queues with an associated PPD. I had Workgroup
Manager and PPD's working under 10.3 but not under 10.4, ergo
PrinterSetup was created.
From the above URL you will find there are some screen casts
availible providing a quick introduction to PrinterSetup.
All the best,
Henri.
I've recently added a new Canon mfp to our network and I'm trying to
push out (using ARD) the printer and the printer configuration to
the
clients. I've found the PPD file located in /Library/Printers/PPDs/
Contents/Resources/en.lproj and have successfully pushed the
respective file to all the clients. However when I look at the
clients the Installable Options pane under the printer info doesn't
reflect the settings on the server (I'm managing the queues on an
Xserve). I've tried modifying the PPD to reflect the correct
printer
options, however that isn't working either.
Is there another preference file that I'm missing somewhere that
needs to be pushed?
Especially with multifunction devices, there are often more files
installed
than just the PPD. You should use a tool like logGen to find all
the files
that make up the printer driver.
Many installers do leave a log file sitting somewhere on your HD;
running
the driver installer again and looking for logs on your desktop,
and the
root level of the HD, might provide the needed answers.
