You're welcome.
Thanks to you, for your kind explanations!

That's great, but it doesn't seem to work:

$ foomatic-searchprinter HP LaserJet 1320
HP-LaserJet_1320
$ foomatic-ppdfile -p HP-LaserJet_1320 > /tmp/lj.ppd
ERROR: foomatic-ppdfile: There is neither a custom PPD file nor the
driver database entry contains sufficient data to build a PPD file.

A couple of simple command lines are easier to copy and paste to/from
