Thanks for the reply. I am not sure where the slash(s) should be.
What I did was mimic what was already there as far as papersizes.
It mentions a "backend script" which I did not edit or see?
Here is the complete file:

*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"

*% For information on using this, and to obtain the required backend
*% script, consult http://www.linuxprinting.org/

*% all programs and environments which use PPD files for dealing with
*% printer capability information. The printer must be configured with the
*% "foomatic-rip" backend filter script of Foomatic 3.0.0 or newer. This
*% file and "foomatic-rip" work together to support PPD-controlled printer
*% driver option access with arbitrary free software printer drivers and
*% printing spoolers.
