PPD files delivered in SUNW* packages should be listed in the ppdcache.
If they are not, it's very likely an oversight and therefore a bug. The
ppdcache management tools that Cindy posted about a while back will
provide a means of easily updating and rebuilding the cache.
As we update the packages that provide support for various printer
models, It's likely that we will start to move the PPD files in with
those packages so you end up with PPD files that match the various
drivers you have installed.

One thing I suggest you try with your ppd file below is into

as HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd.gz
For the 'printmgr' (/usr/sbin/printmgr) to be able to see this new
ppd file the /usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/ppdcache file has to be edited
appropriately to include the new file's path and definitions.
<dumb question>
So why is the ppdcache file shipped with several of the
included-with-Solaris PPD file missing? Does a bug need to be filed?
