The CUPS web interface basically uses lpinfo to get lists of PPDs for
the printer models. Which is why there was nothing there to be selected
for the PDF printer. Very strange.

/usr/share/ppd/ should contain at least cups-pdf, cupsfilters and custom
directories. The cupsfilters directory should have six files in it. If
you do 'lpinfo -m | less' and search for any of these files, do you find
them? (Check, as root, that the timestamp of /var/cache/cups/ppds.dat has
changed after using lpinfo).
Cheers,
Brian.
