Canon S900 printer (again)

I'm really beginning to get irritated at Canon's total lack of support for
anyone not toeing the Microsoft line.

I have some Kodak print paper that is not defined in the printer ppd file
I got from Turboprint. So I sent a request to Canon for the ppd file for
their printer. And here is the reply...

Jerks. I'm getting very close to returning it for an HP.

It's a shame. I think it's a very nice printer, and it has some nice
features, but I'm not sure I can live with the aggravation.

Would anyone out there have a Canon S900 PPD file that contains Kodak
Ultima paper definitions?

Of course Kodak is so pitiful they haven't even *answered* my query.

I think I actually now how to hack the file to add the paper, but it
looks moderately painful.
