[STR Resolved]

Please post questions like this to the cups-devel list. This is not an
actionable bug...

Support for driver interfaces is deprecated because all (except the
gutenprint interface I did, and later versions of the foomatic generator)
have caused serious performance problems. IIRC this happened back in CUPS
1.5 or 1.6...

PPD tarballs and driver info files remain a supported path to efficiently
provide large numbers of PPDs, but keep in mind that PPDs have been
deprecated since CUPS 1.4 and will eventually no longer be used at all
(since printers largely all support IPP and standard raster/PDF data these
days...)
