It's called "Lexmark.ppd" but it appears to just be tweaks on a generic postscript printer config:

*PCFileName:    "POSTSCRI.PPD"

The notes in the file call it this:

Lexmark-Optra_M412-Postscript.ppd

Note that the m412 is supposed to support postscript natively.

device for Lexmark: usb://Lexmark/Optra%20M412

Thanks for helping with troubleshooting!
