You do not need to edit the PPD to limit rendering resolution. Keep the PPD in its original state and also choose the printer-internal resolution (by the appropriate PPD option) to your liking. The set the maximum resolution used for bitmap operations in the pdftops filter via the "pdftops-max-image-resolution" option:

lpadmin -p printer -o pdftops-max-image-resolution-default=600

You can also choose 300 or whatever is most suitable. See also the README file of cups-filters, section "POSTSCRIPT PRINTING RENDERER AND RESOLUTION SELECTION".
