[STR New]
In "PostScript Printer Description File Format Specification v4.3" section
3.2
page 17: 40 characters is the maximum length for main keywords.
page 16: The basic format of an entry looks like this
*Default<main keyword>: <optionn>
However cupstestppd limits "Default<main keyword>" to max 40 characters
instead of limiting just the "<main keyword>" part to 40 characters. This
makes for example ppd file for HP LaserJet 9500 unloadable. You get
following error.
**FAIL** Unable to open PPD file - Illegal main keyword string on line
1022.
REF: Pages 16-17, section 3.2.
