The magicolor_2400W-m2400w.ppd contains *Manufacturer indication "KONICA MINOLTA", while gnome-cups-manager uses indication "Minolta" which is also used by Foomatic.
Gnome-cups-manager will match "KONICA MINOLTA" to "Minolta" and look for you printer model there, since it isn't there it matches the one that closely resembles it, in your case magicolor 2430 DL.
Please note this is only a viewing problem in the Properties > Driver tab of gnome-cups-manager, this does not affect the functioning of the printer since the PPD was installed correctly.
To prove this you could change the *Manufacturer indication to "Minolta" by editing /usr/share/cups/model/magicolor_2400W-m2400w.ppd.
Then remove your printer in gnome-cups-manager and add it again and look in the Properties > Driver tab, you will see that the correct driver is indicated.

If I understand correctly you printer works except for the gnome-cups-manager "Test Page"?
If this is the case please attach your /var/log/cups/error_log after you pressed the "Test Page" button.
