to restart it.

For Panther the most reliable way to restart is to use:

     sudo killall cupsd
     sudo cupsd

With Tiger, just use the first command.

I guess it's rather a problem with Mac than with CUPS.

There's one senario:
I put ppd in /usr/share/cups/model, and I can add PPD through 127.0.0.1:631 
but the printer is not available in Printer Setup Utility.

So, I have to restart Mac...
