Do PPD files no longer work in Ventura?

[DominikHoffmann]

In the past I have preferred obtaining just a PPD file for a printer and installing it in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ . That way I don’t get all the other printer manufacturers’ bloatware on my computer.

Trying to the same with the PPD for a Samsung ML-2165w, which is a fine little laser printer, doesn’t work:

Does this mean that PPD files no longer work in Ventura?

I am also curious about this. I'm using JAMF for schools, and I'm trying to add printers via profile. I think I've pushed the driver pkg correctly. But not getting the drivers selected with the printers.
