The ppd files are usually in a gzipped format. On my Fedora system they are under /usr/share/ppd/<maker>/<category>/<model>.ppd.gz. I have an HP, so the file I needed was /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-photosmart_c3100_series.ppd.gz. It's becoming more common for ini files to be configuration files on Linux, but as you can see YMMV.
