What colour is the sky in your reality? 'Cause in mine CUPS
finds it there just fine.
When you configure CUPS it copies PPD you've chosen to
/etc/cups/ppd/your_printer_name.ppd. If you replace this file
with a custom PPD, CUPS will use that. Yes, it will work. No,
it won't show up in any menus -- do you want pretty menus,
or do you want a working printer?
