It's on my TODO list to let gpr automatically check /etc/foomatic for
PPD files. Click on the "Browse" button near the line for choosing the
PPD file and then go to /etc/foomatic and choose the PPD file
corresponding to the name of your printer queue. GPR saves this choice
so that you do only set it up once.
Another thing: GPR is primarily for LPRng users, you get better support
for CUPS by using "xpp" or "kprinter".
