Well, that's the goal. Trying a different driver is not to be a permanent
solution but just for testing purposes to demonstrate where the problem
resides (PPD file and not the whole cups package).

The first I would try is getting the most updated PPD file from Kyocera
(this one says "PSVersion: (3011.103) 1" which seems the latest available).

Or look into Kyocera's site, juts in case:

"locate *.ppd" will tell you where those files are though they're usually
go under "/usr/share/ppd/...".
