When using the Foomatic framework, printers are driven by a PPD (Printer
Postscript Description) file which, unless already provided in a
particular package, can be generated using the foomatic-ppdfile(1)
command.
Drivers availability depends on which Foomatic DB package are installed
on the system:
e.g. foomatic-db, hpijs, foo2zjs, gutenprint...

PPD generation example for a Samsung ML-2850D
=============================================
$ foomatic-ppdfile -P 2850 
Samsung ML-2850D Id='Samsung-ML-2850D' Driver='Postscript' CompatibleDrivers='Postscript pxlmono '
$ foomatic-ppdfile -p 'Samsung-ML-2850D' -d 'Postscript' > samsung-ml2850d.ppd

"samsung-ml2850d.ppd" can then be used as an input filter with CUPS or
for direct printing using foomatic-rip(1) from the cups-filters package.

Printers using CUPS native drivers (drv) will not be detected by
foomatic-ppdfile(1) and must be installed using the CUPS tools or its
web interface.
