I think i have choose the right PPD file for this printer.

Something "weird" is that i added the same printer with cups 1.4.2 on another CentOS 6.5 PC,it works well,and i noticed that i got more than two tabs (like "Paper & Quality Options","Multi-Page" and so on) when the CUPS 1.4.2 asked me to set the default options for the printer but i got just 
two tabs ("Banners" and "Policies") on the CentOS 6.6 PC.

Any help is appreciated!
