Ppd file
Author: s | 2025-04-24
PPD files are used to specifiy driver and driver parameters. Each print job has an associated PPD file and each HP printer has a unique PPD file. There are HPIJS PPD files, postscript PPD files and fax PPD files. All HPIJS PPD files are generated from a CUPS drv file called hpijs.drv. ️ What's an .PPD file? ️ How to open an .PPD file? ️ List of programs that support .PPD file

See PPD files: Printer-specific options at Concepts printing. For PostScript printers, the PPD file contains the printer-specific options A PPD file label describes a grouping of PPD files and refers to a user-selected or default directory name within a PPD file repository. When you use the ppdmgr utility to add a PPD file The official from Microsoft intended way seems to be to create an inf file that references the ppd file, create a cat file from the inf file and than sign that cat file. However this requires either an officially recognized certificate or a selfsigned one, which then has to be imported into the trusted publisher certificate stores of all computers which want to use that driver.See this woshub article on how to create a cat file and self sign it. This answer explains it as well, but without the self-signing aspect. To see the format of the inf file, you can for example look at the inf file that is included under /lib in the ghostscript distibution (also contains a signed cat file to install the ghostscript printer).If all that seems to complicated, and you have just one printer you want to use with a custom ppd, you can (as described in schweiks answer) just use the MS Publisher Color Printer and replace its ppd file.If you have multiple printers with different ppd files, it actually seems to work to just add the drivers directly to the registry via a reg file like this:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3\FreePDF-XP]"Dependent Files"=hex(7):50,00,53,00,43,00,52,00,49,00,50,00,54,00,2e,00,4e,00,\ 54,00,46,00,00,00,00,00"Configuration File"="PS5UI.DLL""Data File"="freepdfxp.ppd""Driver"="PSCRIPT5.DLL""Help File"="PSCRIPT.HLP""Monitor"="""Datatype"="RAW""Previous Names"=hex(7):00,00,00,00"Version"=dword:00000003"TempDir"=dword:00000000"Attributes"=dword:00000000"Manufacturer"="""OEM URL"="""HardwareID"="""Provider"="""Print Processor"="""VendorSetup"="""ColorProfiles"=hex(7):00,00,00,00"Base Driver"="""PrinterDriverID"="""App Registration"=hex(7):00,00,00,00"InfPath"="""PrinterDriverAttributes"=dword:00000000"LastServicedBuild"=dword:00004a64"CoreDependencies"=hex(7):00,00,00,00"DriverDate"="01/01/1601""DriverVersion"="0.0.0.0""MinInboxDriverVerDate"="01/01/1601""MinInboxDriverVerVersion"="0.0.0.0"Thats just the registry key of another postscript printer driver exported, InfPath set to empty string, Data File set to your ppd file name and the Name of the registry key itself set to the Name you want for your driver.Copy the ppd file manually to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3.
