This
step may not be required if you have the ppd in the model folder. If
not..
sudo
cp /drivepath/tothe/ppd /usr/shar/cups/model/
This
step adds the printer with IP address and connects it to the correct
PPD.
sudo
lpadmin -p printername -E -v socket://ipaddress -m ppdname
It would help when you say "having no
luck" if you'd describe exactly what you're trying and exactly what's
failing.
I think lpadmin is definitely the way to go here. Does this work on
your system?
lpadmin -p MyPrinter -m laserjet.ppd
Let's work our way up to what you need exactly after confirming that the
trivial case works.

Is it possible to add printers to 'Printer Setup
Utility' in Panther (10.3.7) with AppleScript? And if so, is it also possible to
add the correct PPD too?
I was tinkering with 'lpadmin' as a 'do shell
script' but I'm having no luck.
I'm trying to make an installation script that installs all the
appropriate printers (and PPDs if needed) beforehand.
Thanks.
