From v6.2.82 or above

Filtering by PPD Name has been added from v6.2.88 or above along with the ability to add an asterisk for a wild card at the end of any of the filters e.g. TEST* would return all entries where the Output Queue / Data Queue / PPD Name begins with TEST, depending on which entry you had applied the filter to.
