Useful if the PPD files are not yet translated into your native language and you want to save some space by not installing unneeded translations. : This option causes the build process to generate PostScript level 3 PPD files instead of level 2 ones. Configuring Gimp-Print Configuration Information For CUPS to see newly installed PPD files, it has to be restarted (as the root user): /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart This command may take a very long time (up to 10 minutes) to complete.
