I have run the command now.

With the current cupsys package of Ubuntu the textonly.ppd gets installed. Problem is that the current system-config-printer needs an absolute path in /usr/share/system-config-printer/ppds.py to find the file (patch attached).

My suggestion to make it working with any distro without patching is to put some search functionality here, so that simply a textonly.ppd is selected, with any path. If there is no textonly.ppd as postscript.ppd should get selected.
