Especially with multifunction devices, there are often more files installed
than just the PPD. You should use a tool like logGen to find all the files
that make up the printer driver.

Many installers do leave a log file sitting somewhere on your HD; running
the driver installer again and looking for logs on your desktop, and the
root level of the HD, might provide the needed answers.
