Going into that you’ll see a file /install/M7605D/chneng/Brinst_Lang.ini which specifies the folder for the Post-Script driver for the model: The location of PostScript driver The Driver Page The ‘/install’ folder after extraction Once downloaded the driver package (which is an ISO file) from Lenovo Driver Page, extract it and open the folder /install, you’ll see a lot of model folders. Basically it describes how the printer should organize and print the contents when documents are sent to the system printing service. PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File ¶ĭeveloped by Adobe, the PPD file ( Wikipedia) is a piece of information that describes the entire set of features and capabilities available for PostScript printer. Specifically, I am using my Lenovo M7605D as an example. The focus of this post is on how to extract a PPD file from the original printer driver package provided by the manufacturer, which is needed by the Linux system (and of course, Raspberry Pi), when CUPS doesn’t have native support on it. So this is not the main focus of this post. There are already a lot of posts on the internet discussing how you can set up your Raspberry Pi and connect it with your printer (with CUPS), like How to add a printer to your raspberry pi or other Linux Computer. One of the main benefits of connecting the printer to Raspberry Pi is to enable remote printing service, even if the printer is a cabled one.
