I don't know where it comes from since my system has virtually no ppd on
disk. I created two printers, one with the cups provided ppd, and
another one with brother's, and they are quite different.

The label for the cups ppd is:
«Brother HL-4050CDN Foomatic/Postscript (recommended) (color, 2-sided
printing)»

The label for Brother's ppd is:
«Brother HL-4050CDN BR-Script3»

Maybe the cups ppd is somehow generated from 
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/printer/Brother-HL-4050CDN.xml
(from the foomatic-db package)

Or maybe it is downloaded, or extracted from an archive, I don't
know. The openprinting-ppds packages are not installed on the test
system, but cups does create a ppd somehow, and in this printer's case
it doesn't work well.

Thanks,
