There's a directory in the cups installation, /usr/share/cups/model/, which has vendor-specific gzipped ppd files with names like F-1010-laserjet.ppd.gz and FS-1200-Postscript.ppd.gz. These seem to be the ones displayed by lpinfo. I suppose I could make up a funny name for that PPD file I copied from the CD and gzip it and put it in that /usr/share/cups/model/Kyocera directory, but that seems like I'm wandering down some blind alley, since the docs seemed to point to the /etc/cups/ppd directory I used.
I don't know how to do it with the web interface (it only seems to offer ppds from the database), but using yast, when you select the printer model, there is a button to add ppd file to database. It will let you download a ppd or point to a local file. Good luck Doug
