I've found or newer PPD file at xerox.com.

I've downloaded the archive and unpacked. But I don't know how to  
replace the PPD file on my machine by the new PPD file. In each  
directory

   /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en|de/...lproj/Xerox

is a file

   Xerox Phaser 3500.gz

but the new PPD file is

   XRX_Phaser_3500.ppd

Can I rename the new file and replace the older one. Or must I  
convert something?

TIA and kind regards, Friedrich
