Thanks for replying.
I finally found what I needed.
This is the original link:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/printers/drivers/ip1000/Ms_Cert_Drivers/w11xxmsxp.exe
And this is the info page:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=95&context=SRDTTX&q1=psd1*
&uid=psd1P4000337&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en
(this is a single line)

The PPD file is well in the packed archive.

Hope that someone else will find this usefull ...
