Thanks to all, I'm getting a bit closer to a working .ppd
although still far from perfect. Never edited one before:)
All test pages look fine, but are now like stretched to 200% or more
in height and about 50% in width. Another test using a Glabels template
produced similar results. Attached is the .ppd I edited, the only one
not producing a garbled (random ascii chars) print, which is /usr/share/
ppd/Epson/tm-slip-rastertotmu.ppd
