The attached file is _not_ a PPD according to Adobe's "PostScript
Printer Description
File Format". It is rather a description using the same or similar
keywords for use
by a proprietary driver software for a printer presumably eating some
sort of PCL.

The printer list on linuxprinting.org does not mention this printer, so
I don't know
what you may do with it.
