1. Please do
cp /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_noopt.ppd /usr/share/ppd/custom/test.ppd
(test.ppd can be deleted later on).
2. Activate debug logging as described at
https://wiki.debian.org/DissectingandDebuggingtheCUPSPrintingSystem#The_CUPS_Error_Log
Empty the error_log and (as root) do 'lpinfo -m'. Attach the log
to your next mail sent here.
(You might have to restart cups after using cupsctl.
'systemctl restart cups').
3. Check whether ppds.dat has changed.

stretch and stable are the the same distribution at present. The second
two lines are duplicates of the first two. (In year or so, stable will
be buster).

As above.

Ok.

I've never mixed stable and unstable sources, so do not know what the
consequences could be. Someone?
Cheers,
