Detailed Description

This library is used to create so called PPD files describing a printer device and its capabilities on-the-fly. This way a printer driver can change its capabilities at run-time and a new PPD reflecting these changes can be created and spread to all clients.

Most of the time you don't need to deal with this library. Only with its struct caps_ppd_base and its companions to describe your printer driver's capabilities.
