I hope this NG accepts text file attachments. The attached PPD is the
HPIII522.PPD which dooms on one of our servers since 1995. It is for the
Laserjet III with PostScript cartridge.
Caveats:
--------
The PPD version is 4.1; the cupstestppd program will complain (
(emit a warning)
The PostScript version is 52.2, that is, it only supports language
level 1.
If it works, you could perhaps forward it to linixprinting.org (they are
always
eager to receive working stuff).
