A PPD File
(PostScript Printer Description File) is a file normally shipped by the printer
manufacturer. This file contains the instructions necessary to activate all the
features of the printer like paper formats, paper trays, output trays, media
type, duplex printing, color management etc.
A PDD File is
the equivalent of a PPD file (for PostScript) but now for PCL printers. This
file may be supplied either by the printer manufacturer or by SIC.
The Canon
CPCA is a proprietary protocol to manage finishing and device specific
features of Canon devices.
