The PPD

The PostScript Printer Description (PPD) allows you to select many
printer feature settings from your application's Print dialog box. These
settings override printer default settings and other software settings. You
can customize printer features for each job or for all jobs sent to the
printer from your host without resetting printer front panel menus.
For these options to be available, the Adobe PostScript printer driver
and your printer's PPD must be installed and configured properly.
See chapter 3 (Macintosh) or 4 (PC) for details.
In most applications, printer specific options in the PPD are accessed
through the Device Options tab in Windows 95 and 98 and the
Printer Specific Options menu on a Macintosh.
