Yes, you understood right. We have the old lprng at the moment. Her the
printcap and the filters are build from one sourcefile , copied to the
right directory and are distributed to all machines by a single
Makefile. If there is a new printer I only do changes at the sourcefile
and run the makefile. Then the printer is installed on all machines.

And this procure should be also done with Cups. To make this easier it
would be nice if I only have to copy one ppd-file only one time to the
sources-tree so it can distributed to the other machines and 5 or 10
printer can use the same ppd-file.

Regards
Daniel
