Hi Andreas,
Foomatic PPDs need to be modified to a certain extent to work in Windows.
I've just hacked a little Perl script to do these modifications and tested
it with a Foomatic PPD.
Could you send me your PPD in question so that I can repeat my experiment
with that (I don't fully trust my script yet...)?
And, if it works, it is for free.
