You need to put the PPD into the default location
(/usr/share/cups/model) in order to make sure the CUPS GUI
will find it. Or, if you are using CUPS 1.3.x or higher, the GUI
offers the possibility to select a PPD from a browsable
location.
In the first case, CUPS needs to be retarted to learn to know
about the new PPD.
