There is a severe bug in your PPD. The line
*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "" 
defines an empty command to be executed by foomatic-rip, which is
illegal. Instead, if your printer is a native PostScript printer,
this keyword should *not* be present - foomatic-rip then uses the
cat command to pass on the print stream.

As it is, foomatic-rip tries to execute an empty command which fails,
of course (and leads to a shell syntax error when using the
debug switch).

Get a correct PPD.
