Check the logs, cups is reasonably good about being informative
there. You can check them from the browser-client thing,
in which case you want "error logs", or just look in /var/log
for something plausible.
Sometimes ppd files depend on other things being installed --
I recently ran into this with a third-party ppd file for a Dell
printer that needed the "foomatic" driver package in order to
work.
