Why does SMB PostScript show the wrong DPI choices?

0

Anything that parses a PPD expects two formats for the internal naming of resolutions: either ###dpi or ###x###dpi. The Gimp-Print PPDs use a sensible but non-offical internal naming format, like 360sw, 720x360sw and 360swuni. CUPS, being more flexible than offical Postscript, parses these internal names without trouble, so the web interface works without problems. However, the PostScript Generic driver for Windows does not recognize the resolution format, fails to parse it and puts up 300dpi as default in the resolution combo box because it doesn’t know what else to do. Modify the Epson Stylus Color 900 PPD so that the internal names follow the standard format. I.E.
