To get a feeling how the driver info presented to the user should look like, see my implementation in the PostScript PPD download function of system-config-printer.

Get system-config-printer 1.0.5+git20080819-0ubuntu4, install and start it (take its source package from Launchpad if it did not arrive on the mirrors yet).

Click "New Printer", select an arbitrary detected printer, click "Forward", on the next page choose"Search for a printer driver to download", as "Make and Model" search term enter "HP LaserJet 3390", click "Search" and the "Forward" again. This brings you to the download screen for the PPD file for the HP LaserJet 3390. The info which Jockey should show about a downloadable printer driver package should be at least this one.
