Hmmm....

So I got the ppmtomd port installed, but it creates a unix executable, not a ppd.

True...

Because the filetype was listed as type: Filter on the source page

http://www.openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi? driver=ppmtomd&fromprinter=Alps-MD-1000

I tried putting a copy of the executable in with the /usr/libexec/ cups/filters

It doesn't allow me to select it as a printer though...

I don't suppose you know how to go about making a ppd out of it...

The first time I heard about ppmtomd was when you mentioned it, so no, I don't know any more about it than you do.

You can read its manpage to see if it's really the software you want.

After you install ppmtomd, type

        man ppmtomd
