For one and the same printer there can be more than one driver but the
PPDs come from the same supplier. There are PPDs from Foomatic for the
HP LaserJet 4050 for the "ljet4", the "pxlmono", and the "hpijs" driver
for example. Gutenprint has standard (full option set) and simplified
(reduced option set) PPDs.

Then we can do

/usr/share/ppd/foomatic/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-ljet4-en.ppd
/usr/share/ppd/foomatic/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-pxlmono-en.ppd
/usr/share/ppd/foomatic/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-hpijs-en.ppd
/usr/share/ppd/gutenprint/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-standard-en.ppd
/usr/share/ppd/gutenprint/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-simplified-en.ppd
