If the PPD if for a "level 1" PostScript printer (i.e., pre-level 2),
such as an old Linotronic imagesetter, both the AdobePS 5.x (for Windows NT 4)
and the AdobePS 4.2.x drivers (for Windows'9x) will ignore the PPD file.
These drivers only support Adobe PostScript Level 2 and Adobe PostScript 3
devices.
