[opensuse] Gutenprint - OpenSuSE 10.0 - where are the PPD files?

I've got OpenSuSE 10.0 installed to my desktop.

I want to use my Olympus P10 photo printer on the PC.

I installed Gutenprint 5.0.1, following the INSTALL & README files. It
was written that Gutenprint includes PPD files for the printers it
supports, and that they are usually found at
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.

I cannot find the PPD files anywhere on my system. I have restarted
CUPS, and it does not list any Olympus printers when I try to add a
printer.

I've tried searching the 'net for a PPD file for my printer, and all I
found was a handful of sites explaining that the appropriate PPD was
included with Gutenprint. (AAGGHHH!!)

I must be missing something ridiculously obvious here, but I'm stuck. Help?

Thanks,
Steve
