which is what CUPS would do 'behind the scenes'. ppd files as one can do a command line registration of a printer.

There has been a recent cups update in the last day or so: if your system has taken those updates on board, I wonder if it is finding the printer yet? so you click on FILE SYSTEM then open the folder/directory called etc and then inside that open the cups directory and inside that is a ppd directory: are there no files in there that are labelled. that allows you to look for files using the GUI (graphic user interface). If you use the Files box on your desktop. On that note I noticed when I tried to add the printer manually through cups I would get a 'Not Found' error when I head to the 'Find printer drivers' page. I tried searching for the ppd with the commands you provided - there's nothing there, nothing comes up on the terminal.
