The set up is a bit different for the various Linux distributions. I
wrote the original pdf for RedHat 9 which is well on the way to being
defunct. Fedora is different as is SuSE. The problem is that each of the
distributions requires a somewhat different approach to setting the QTR2
version of the PPD for the printer being used. The easiest way, I think,
is to use WebMin. With SuSE it is not necessary, with Fedora, to my
knowledge, it is. Printing is still a bit of a hangup. I print from the
command line using a modified form of David Wroblewski's QPR script. The
advantage is that the print parameters can be set at the time of
printing including the curves and split. A useful utility is GTKLP which
gives a graphical interface to set the parameters in the ppd if you
choose not to use the command line.

As far as I am concerned, feel free to update the pdf.
