with:

    test-ppd-2 () {
        sudo lpadmin  \
             -p laser \
             -v 'usb://Samsung/M2020%20Series?serial=08HYB8GGBB029CJ' \
             -E \
             -P /usr/share/ppd/Samsung_M2020_Series.ppd
    }

I get

    lpr: Unsupported document-format "text/plain"

with *both* the raster and PS configs!
