Well   the task  seems to be simple at first glance:

   Produce a new version  of /var/lp/ppd/ppdcache file 
  containing  entries for new printers,   
 
    and

   Possibly  package it with some new  Foomatic  script/driver. 

But  I Never know about new printers until I stand in front of one.
What we need here   are some  informers/agents  at printer manufacturers  that
can provide info on what a new printer_unit  needs in the way of drivers/setup.

   How have the /var/lp/ppd/ppdcache  file  been produced  sofar ? 
   Does Wendy  have all these  printer units for test  in her basement  : -) 
  Or where does the data come from ?
