The PPDs are compressed in the /usr/lib/cups/driver/escpr file. You can
see the list of PPD files this way:

	/usr/lib/cups/driver/escpr list 

This will output the PPD file for you:
	/usr/lib/cups/driver/escpr cat "escpr:0/cups/model/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/Epson-XP-830_Series-epson-escpr-en.ppd"

But CUPS should show the "Epson XP-830 Series" printer when setting up a printer. Do you have cups & cups-filters installed?
