Raw print queue breaks cupsaddsmb -a

I have a CUPS server running on RHEL5 with printers added via Samba.  Some of them are set up with a PPD, but I recently needed to add raw printers.  Now, when I run cupsaddsmb -a, it runs fine until it hits the first raw print queue, and then stops with this error:

cupsaddsmb: No PPD file for printer "queue-name" - Not Found

The only relevant thing I found using Google was this:

"Use a "minimal" PPD that passes the "cupstestppd" checks. Make that PPD so that the queue behaves like a raw queue (add the line '*cupsFilter: "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 -"').
"

1. Is this the only way around this problem?
2. If so, does anyone have such a file?

Thanks!
