won't know what different receipt printer manufacturers may be
calling their custom receipt page sizes.
There's no PPD, but a hexdump of the StarPM file (inside the
StarPM.plugin bundle) reveals interesting names such as
"104mm x Long Receipt" and "72mm x Long Receipt" etc.
Tiger may change things, but NSPrinter doc currently says "An
NSPrinter object describes a printer’s capabilities as defined in
its PPD file". If there's no PPD, and you want fine control, I
think you may be stuck using Carbon Print Manager, or the print
dialogs (which are implemented in Carbon PM).
The OS generates PPD files for all Tioga based printer drivers (at
least ones that have a print queue). I think they wind up in /private/
var/tmp/. I don't have an inkjet hooked up a the moment to verify
this, but that's what I dug out of my printing list archvies...
