  //The way openstep handled NSPrinter was odd, it had a concept of "real" 
  //printers and
  //not real printers.  Printers that were not real were simply parsed PPDs, 
  //whether the printer was actually available or not was irrevelatn.  This is
  //is where the all the -types and +types methods come from.  Apple's
  //adoption of CUPS forced them to change this behavior, now, their types 
  //methods only search for the types of printers that are actually avaiable, 
  //it has nothing to do with the PPDs that happen to be avaiable on the file
  //system.  I think this is also the behavior we should adopt.  Not simply 
  //because it is what Apple does but because it facilitates a generic printing
  //backend system, especially one that will likely be using CUPS itself.
  //This is why the following ivar is removed and the behavior of this class
  //and the GSLPR Bundle has been changed.  Doing this has also allowed me
  //to put a lot of generic code in ths class that would have otherwise had
  //to have been handles by each bundle.  See +printerWithType: in NSPrinter.m
