Could you send me your PPD file?

KDE didn't put it anywhere, it just didn't send it to the CUPS
server (because it couldn't load it). The result is that the you
create a printer without a PPD file (hence the previous PPD file
is removed). The point here is why KDE cannot load the PPD file
when adding a printer. I guess that when selecting the driver,
you used the "Other" button and selected the modified PPD file?
