I cannot answer for Till, but can point to https://wiki.debian.org/DriverlessPrinting#The_CUPS_PPD_Generator https://wiki.debian.org/DriverlessPrinting#The_cups-filters_PPD_Generator https://github.com/zdohnal/system-config-printer/issues/125 "UseCUPSGeneratedPPDs No" as a workaround for another issue removes a user's choice of PPD generator.
