Just copy the PPD to /Library/Printers/PPDs on the OSX partition.

Postscript Printer Drive.
You can download them of the web from the printer manufacturer.
OS X comes with a few and more additional ones can be added from the install disks.
Start /Applications/Utilities/Printer Center
Click on Add then select in the top dropdown window USB and click on the printer you want to add.

I had this working before without having to do the PPD thing.... There's gotta be another way... Like over Appletalk.....
