[cups] Mac ppd differences when connecting via Wide-Area Bonjour vs local link Bonjour

Hello,

I'm working on setting up wide-area Bonjour (DNS-SD) Mac OSX printing for
printer discovery across VLANS. The goal is to allow our Mac users to add a
network printer using the default method. I have my DNS-SD records set up
and most everything seems to work fine, except for the fact that the
correct ppd is not being loaded. From a Mac client that is on the same VLAN
as the print server (using local link Bonjour) when I add the printer, the
ppd field is populated correctly with what the server is using for the
print queue. When I add the printer using the wide-area Bonjour the ppd
field is populated with the "generic postscript printer" ppd.

Anyone familiar with this issue?

Thanks,
Jim
