PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
pnm2ppa: PNM2PPA GhostScript Print Filter
pnm2ppa: PPA (Printing Performance Architecture) is a closed, proprietary protocol developed by Hewlett Packard for a short-lived series of DeskJet printers. In essence, the PPA protocol moves the low-level processing of the data to the host computer rather than the printer. This allows for a low-cost (to produce) printer with a small amount of memory and computing power. However, in practice the printer was often as expensive as more capable printers and HP has since discontinued the use of PPA in favour of returning to PCL3e in their latest USB-based printers.
