It is a Postscript Printer Description (.PPD) and it is a file that is part of Adobe Software. You can open it with notepad and see its content.

Adobe PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files describe how to use the standard and special features (hardware and software) on a specific
PostScript printer.
Check with Adobe if your having a problem.

A .ppd file is a PostScript Printer Description file. There are two types of keywords in a PPD file: main and options. Main keywords describe a printer's features, such as page size (*PageSize) and font (*Font). Option keywords describe the options associated with a feature, such as Letter and Legal for *PageSize.

Hope this helps,
