Just an update on why ppdmgr failed on the PPD file Apostolos was trying to add to the system. The PPD file, LEXE340.ppd, didn't have the Manufacturer entry which is required by the PPD Version 4.3 spec, thus it was failing with "invalid PPD file". When Apostolos modified the file, a Manufacturer entry was also added.
Apostolos is going to try to contact Lexmark, as the copyright doesn't allow redistribution if the file is modified. For anyone experiencing the same problem with the LEXE340.ppd file, add the following line anywhere after the first line in the file: *Manufacturer: "Lexmark" A huge thank you to Apostolos for being a tremendous help in troubleshooting this!
