FYI:
It does not matter into which sub-directory under /usr/share/cups/model/
PPDs get installed because CUPS searches all of them.
Therefore you could just as well keep the upstream defaults
so that for example cups-drivers-splix may use
/usr/share/cups/model/samsung/ or /usr/share/cups/model/splix
regardless that cups-drivers uses /usr/share/cups/model/Samsung/
I.e. perhaps it is best to revert all changes and patches
regarding the PPD directory in cups-drivers-splix
to be in full compliance with upstream here?
For example the PPDs in the hplip-hpijs package are in
/usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hplip/
regardless that cups-drivers uses /usr/share/cups/model/HP/
and the PPDs in manufacturer-PPDs are in various directories
like /usr/share/cups/model/manufacturer-PPDs/hp/
regardless of what is used in hplip-hpijs and cups-drivers.
In contrast what matters is the '*Manufacturer' value in the PPDs.
It should be the same spelling for one same manufacturer
to get all PPDs for this manufacturer listed under the
same manufacturer name in printer setup tools (e.g. "HP"
versus "Hewlett Packard" versus "Hewlett-Packard" would cause
annoyance for the users who like to set up a HP printer).
The '*Manufacturer' values in SpliX' PPDs are perfectly o.k.:
*Manufacturer: "Dell"
*Manufacturer: "Samsung"
*Manufacturer: "Xerox"
