Hi Howard,

There is a change in ppd file usage.   The first implementation of 
"inknames"
just duplicated the ppd so you have for instance:
    ppd files   Quad2200.ppd,  Quad2200-UT7.ppd, Quad2200-NK7.ppd
They are identical duplicates with the names matching the folder names 
for the profiles.
The change is that the code now looks for the ppd with the inkname 
chopped off.
So for a special ink such as:  Quad2200-Howard  you don't need to 
duplicate
the ppd file, just make your special profile folder.
