PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers. For non-PostScript printers, the PPD also contains a call for the appropriate filter to be used.

A PPD also contains the PostScript code (commands) used to invoke features for the print job.

Every printer in CUPS needs a PPD file.
