I am trying to create a desktop printer - this part works. But when I use
the property for the PPD file to set the PPD all I get is an error. This
created desktop printer then has a generic PPD setup.

Desktop Printer Manager is busted, has been since 8.5. I think this
is discussed in a "help center' module. You can work around this
by setting the PPD After you create the DTP with

...
set the PPD file of the default printer to the whatever_PPD_file
...

You also cannot create a Desktop printer that 'targets' another application.
As desktop printers go away in OS X, I doubt this will ever be fixed.
