The .PPD file extension refers to a PostScript Printer Description file. PPD files describe the capabilities of PostScript printers. They are created by vendors for their printers. These files contain printer-specific features and information. PPDs allow intelligent filtering and support of features. They may have PostScript code too. This code has commands for printing features. PPD files act as printer drivers. They describe fonts, paper sizes, resolution, memory, and more. Software programs like Adobe PageMaker can view PPD files. Users may need to associate PPD files with such programs. Some files need elevated access rights to open. Antivirus software could also block PPD files. Users can take suggested steps for access. They can also re-download incomplete files. The Windows Registry can associate PPDs with software. Simple text files are viewable across programs.
