I created the printer using the webfrontend Maker: "zerbra" -> Model: 
"Zebra ZPL Label Printer". On the general Settingspage I set the 
resolution to 300dpi.

When I look into /etc/cups/ppd/printer.ppd the default values from the 
webfrontend seem to be applied

I'm unsure if I have answered your question because I don't see a 
specific pstoraster driver is used in this scenario.

Currently I'm using OpenSolaris snv_134 which contains cups 1.4.2

Do you have any hints where I could look why the default from the ppd is 
not getting used?
