I have a Photosmart Pro B9180, which use PPD 3.0 on some and 3.3.0 on other. Where is PPD placed?

My Photosmart Pro B9180 can print from 10.6.x. But some computers on the network have 10.6.8 and PPD 3.0 and some computerns have 10.6.8 and PPD 3.3.0. When printing from computerns with PPD 3.3.0 a LOT of ink is splashed over the Photo paper. When printing from computerns with PPD 3.0 everything is fine. But I cannot find out how to change PPD from 3.3.0 to PPD 3.0. Delete and reinstall of printer do not change anything.

 

It is not possible to get drivers since all necessary software is in Apple System.

 

I hope to get a solution.

That is very strange.  The PPDs should be in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources.

 

You could use a USB drive and just move the 3.0 version to the other Macs.
