What is a PPD?

A PostScript Printer Description is commonly known as a PPD. It is the files created by a hardware vendor to describe the fonts, paper sizes, memory configuration, resolution abilities and other features of a PostScript printer. PostScript is a programming language that is most often used for page description in electronic and desktop publishing.


PPDs are used by PostScript printer drivers to understand the capabilities of the printer. Printer drivers communicate between the hardware, software and operating systems.


PPDs also contain PostScript commands for features in certain printing jobs. In that way, PPDs function kind of like drivers.

A generic PPD file for various models of a Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet printer might contain such information as:


  1. LanguageLevel: 2
  2. ColorDevice: True
  3. DefaultColorSpace: CMYK

This lets the printer driver know that the printer understands PostScript Level 2, can print in colour, and works in CMYK (which is short for cyan, magenta, yellow and key, which we know as black).

Thank you for the information. By the end of my search for remedies, I ended up finding that my Windows Defender handled any problems on my computer as well.

I will definitly recommend your product to others because of your prompt assistance and because it appears to be the best thing available! I will also consider purchasing it in the future if my system runs into further difficulties.

I really appreciate your quick response and now have a better understanding of the free thing.
