IBM PPD Drivers?

IBM PPD Drivers?
Wed, 31 Jan 2007 20:00:45 GMT
How come I can not find any IBM PPD's to upload to the broker? They do 
not exist, only for MAC's but I can not extract those MAC files I do not 
have a MAC.
Any ideas as to a generic PPD to cover laser printers?
Any other ideas... this has been bugging me for about 1.5 years!

I should say the Generic driver is inadequate.
I bet these would work if we could extract them?
