So your hint about using cups-genppd is showing some fruit, but haven't
found the ripe apple yet.


running cups-genppd.5.3 -v cranks along fine until it reaches the ppd I
am actively working on. 

It's output is:
	Writing
	/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.3//stp-escp2-p5000-s.5.3.ppd.gz...
	Cannot find file escp2/model/model_222.xml of type escp2Model
	Aborted

However, the file model_222.xml does exist; it is the one I have
created with my chosen unique model id for this.

My working assumption is that I have something specified wrong in the
model_222.xml file or src/xml/printers/escp2.xml, or somewhere related.
