I got a new driver for our printer, however, I do not know how to use it!

I tried to put all files into the /usr/share/cups/model/sharp/*.ppd and with 
the control center to change the driver. 

However, although I see the printer I cannot change it (in Administrator 
mode).

While the printer driver base is created another "Error" window pops 
up"   (red ball with a white x in it and below the button [OK], however, it 
does not contain any text!!!!

When I choose the printer, I get another window (Modify Printer) with two 
(!!!) identical printer drivers for the chosen printer. Regardless which one 
I choose, I get another Window with the Error message 

Unable to load the requested driver: 

            [OK]


(No second line !!!)

The printer driver will not been changed!

Any hints?

bye

Ronald
