If I add this printer without any ppd:

# lpadmin -p Ricoh_Aficio_MP_171SPF_Informatica -v ipp://cups.example.net:631/printers/Ricoh_Aficio_MP_171SPF_Informatica -E

this is what I get running lpoptions

# lpoptions -p Ricoh_Aficio_MP_171SPF_Informatica -l
lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for Ricoh_Aficio_MP_171SPF_Informatica: Not Found

and this is what I get against cups server:

# lpoptions -h cups.example.net -p Ricoh_Aficio_MP_171SPF_Informatica -l
