To fully support IPP Everywhere printers today, we need a PPD generator that will drive a traditional CUPS print queue.  The PPD generator should query the IPP Everywhere printer, creating the necessary PPD options and values needed to support native PWG Raster, JPEG, and PDF printing.

Note that this bug may end up closed depending on when we actually implement IPP Everywhere printing support since PPDs are a legacy implementation detail of the CUPS printing infrastructure - if we end up with a native set of IPP Everywhere-based filters then this PPD generator will be unnecessary...
