pnm2ppa for Debian
----------------------
Using the pnm2ppa filter, it's possible to use printer with the PPA protocol.
PPA is a proprietary protocol by Hewlett Packard. Printers using PPA are
normally Windows-only. pnm2ppa supports color now.
The configuration files are in /etc/ppa/. The papersize is being autodetected
since this version.
This package is based on the pbm2ppa package. Thanks to Ionutz Borcoman

Starting with pnm2ppa-1.0, pbm2ppa is completely replaced by pnm2ppa. pnm2ppa
will create symlinks for old filters, so your old printcap should work without
changes.

As of Nov 2000, I don't use a PPA printer anymore. I'll continue to maintain
this package untill Roland can maintain it again, but I'll be unable to
test it myself.

If you're using magicfilter or apsfilter, run magicfilterconfig or
apsfilterconfig and simply follow the instructions.
