For printers that supports 1284DeviceID MIB, should the whole string like " MFG:RICOH;MDL:Aficio SP C420DN;CMD:PJL,RCS,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT,POSTSCRIPT,PCL,PCLXL;" be put into PPD file?
How about if firewall is enabled, and there's no snmp or bonjour dnssd discovery? (which is the default setting in Fedora) How will user find the package?

If printer does not support 1284DeviceID mib, do you think you can flex s-c-p a bit so it could "generate" deviceID based on make-and-model IPP attribute?
As I've mentioned before, I would like to investigate first whether it really is not possible to obtain the real IEEE 1284 Device ID from the device. Printers have been given IEEE 1284 Device IDs for much, much longer than the Printer MIB standard has been around.
Are you saying that Ricoh network printers don't expose their Device IDs at all, via any interface?
