It is as simple as editting the {installdir}/etc/papd.conf file.
It takes the file from STDIN. A sample entry from our RIP software:
Hold-gateway:\
:pr=|/usr/local/bin/PrintWithName Hold:\
:op=gateway:\
:pd=/usr/local/atalk/etc/ppd/HPLJ5Si.ppd:
(PrintWithName is a little script I wrote to snag the title from the
PostScript
and then forward to lp)
