OS X printer driver issues

[Jonathan Fletcher]

This is for an iBook, so it is not OT, I think.

I just came across an issue. I need to connect to a printer that I 
cannot find an OS X printer description file for. I have OS 9 PPDs, but 
am not sure where to put them and if I need different ones. I found a 
PPD folder in my OS X system library but the files there all had .gz 
extensions, so I wasn't sure if I found the right place for them or 
not. It would not let me drag my OS 9 PPDs there anyway.

Apple's KB just said to install drivers obtained from the manufacturer. 
Well, the manufacturer of this particular device is not being helpful.

I booted into Oscar Sierra Niner just so I could get the file printed, 
but I hated to do that. I have come to love X so much.

Does anyone here have a clue about what I should do?
