Download this PPD file:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/Infotec/PS/Infotec-ISC_2432_PS.ppd
compress it:
gzip -9 Infotec-ISC_2432_PS.ppd
run cupstestppd:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
cupstestpppd Infotec-ISC_2432_PS.ppd.gz
Infotec-ISC_2432_PS.ppd.gz: FAIL
**FAIL** Unable to open PPD file - Missing value string on line
1869.
REF: Page 20, section 3.4.

Well, the issue is not that the file cannot be opened: a specific line
number is given, so program is able to open it.
I got the feeling that this depends on the size before/after compression
and that not enough memory gets allocated for such a compressed file. But
I'm not sure.
