Yes, sorry, unfortunately I can't find an answer on the web and
I don't get a reply here.

No, its not only a PPD. There is a filter, few libraries

Yes, its a hardware driver . It uses the Lexmark Z600 driver,
which seems to need access to something like :
/dev/usb/lp0
/proc/bus/usb/devices
/dev/usb/lpX
/dev/usb/usblpX
/dev/usblpX
