/usr/sbin/lpinfo -m | grep ^lsb returns nothing here. I used /usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_opt.ppd The other file there (noopt instead of opt) works as well.

You are right - the cups pdf printer is now working. I changed the pdf output directory a long time ago before using Apparmor, but now Apparmor needs to allow rw access to this directory. So I updated /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd and the pdf printing works. The config problem remains
