You should get the PPD from the vendor's site; the PPD on linuxprinting.org does something with
foormatic-rip which might not be what you really want.
In case you have trouble, look at
http://www.linuxprinting.org/kyocera-faq.html#Kyocera-FS-1010_1
for further discussion. It may be that you need to edit your PPD for
safely selecting PostScript for these printers.
