PPD for Okidata B4350 missing

A ppd for your printer is already available in the openprinting-ppds package, although the ppd you link to seems to be more recent. The main problem is that the package openprinting-ppds is not installed by default.
So I see 2 issues:
1. The openprinting-ppds package should be part of the desktop seed, this was the case in Gutsy (regression).
2. The newer ppd should be included in openprinting-ppds (wishlist).

In gutsy openprinting-ppds was in the default installation. Can someone put it back in?

Er, but it *is* part of desktop-common (which is inherited by desktop):

desktop-common: * openprinting-ppds # Most common drivers we want in desktop; less common are in o-p-extra

... and indeed you can still see it in ubuntu-desktop's dependencies. Is this really a bug in Hardy?

That's weird! Colin, you are right. The openprinting-ppds package is already a dependency of ubuntu-desktop.
UbuntuSucks, on a default desktop installation the packages openprinting-ppds and ubuntu-desktop should be installed. Are these installed on your system?

Pascal, where do you see the ppd for B4350 is included in openprinting-ppds? I see only the 4300 driver, which the submitter stated was incompatible.

Anyway, the problem certainly isn't openprinting-ppds being absent from ubuntu-desktop, which was the rationale given for milestoning this bug. Marking as invalid for ubuntu-meta.

This is now in foomatic-db.

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20080904-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20080904-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     o Fixed generic PostScript driver to get working with the PDF workflow.
       The driver got broken in the upstream release from August 21 and it
       had already problems before (LP: #259318).
     o Ricoh has fixed several problems reported by "cupstestppd" in their
       PPDs (Upstream bug #164).
     o Changed recommended driver for the HP Color LaserJet 35xx/36xx from
       "pxljr" to "hpijs". The former driver has problems with some colors
       (LP: #228635) and duplex does not work, too.
     o Added entries for Lexmark E120 and E120n (LP: #135489), the
       Dell 3100cn (LP: #90718), and the Okidata B4350 (LP: #203358).
     o Fixed typos in printer model names which made some listed PPDs
       not accessible: HP LaserJet 4345 MFP, HP Color LaserJet 9500 MFP,
       Brother HL-2060, HP DesignJet 750, Apple 12 640ps, Ricoh Aficio 5206
       (Red Hat bug #459847).
     o Changed recommended driver of Brother HL-2060 to "hpijs" (Upstream
       bug #166, Red Hat bug #292021).
     o Fixed PPDs for the "pbm2l7k" driver (Upstream bug #167).
     o Added IEEE 1284 device ID for Lexmark E120n (Red Hat bug #201318).
  * debian/rules: Replace the wrong "*1284DeviceId" by "*1284DeviceID" in
    the PPDs (Upstream bug #164).
