I'm using an HP OfficeJet Pro L7500.  Well, all these options' choices
are totally determined by the PPD file, as you exactly pointed it. I
don't know where I find the PPD file (but it was tricky to find), but my
printer driver is recognized as `HP OfficeJet Pro L7500 Foomatic/hpijs'
(and its URI is `hp:/net/Officejet_Pro_L7500?ip=192.168.0.108', notice
that this is a LAN printer). I thought I was using HPLIP, as it's
specified at
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-OfficeJet_Pro_L7500, but I'm
not sure.
