So Foomatic is able to autogenerate the PPD files for the "min12xxw" driver. If you do not get the same result under Debian, there is something broken in Debian's packaging of Foomatic. The Foomatic data for this driver exists already for a long time, so even older versions of Foomatic should generate these PPDs.
On up-to-date Karmic I get
