I have now installed system-config-printer on an unstable machine using
--no-install-recommends and the outcome is identical with what the bug
submitter gets. That is, CUPS says:

   Unable to copy interface script - No such file or directory

Uncompressing a PPD sees the print queue set up.

This does not look like a bug in CUPS, so reassigning.

Wirawan, it would be helpful if you ran

   system-config-printer --debug

with the gzipped PPD and added to the bug report by attaching the output.
