Hi,


Maybe someone could share some screenshot of the BeOS R5 Postscript driver
PPD configuration window?
This window show up when you *add* a new postscript printer, and allow the
use to customize the PPD-defined settings for his printer.
I don't have access to a BeOS machine right now to take such shot,
unfortunatly.


And it might be helpful to take a look at a PPD config tab in ZETA as
well, as it used quite an acceptable method of making sure that there is
an easy (both from code and user point of view) way of editing the PPD
settings.

As these settings aren't (or at least were not) consistent over PPDs,
something along those lines might not be too bad a solution ;)

(and yes, I'm still lurking, though I haven't spend time on real Haiku
development for _months_ unfortunately).
we should also look how others handle it, i really like whats done by the gnome folks. Take a look at this (somewhere in the middle of the page):

Even though printer dialogs are the most inconsistent things on Linux.
