[cups.development] How to automatic to select driver when add printer

[Michael Sweet]

You'll need a matching PPD, usually using Product or 1284DeviceID  
strings. Your backend then generates a listing that includes this  
information in the make-and-model and 1284-device-id fields ("man  
backend") which is used to match the corresponding strings in the PPD  
that you've installed in a common location (such as /usr/share/cups/ 
model).
