I am attempting to obtain a PPD file for a Brother MFC-9560CDW printer. According to this URL: <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/index.html>, I can download a file from: <http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-9560CDW> for this printer. Unfortunately, the file is only available in either "RPM" or "DEB" format. I cannot figure out how to extract the "PPD" from "RPM" file. I have read "man rpm"; however, I am still confused. I tried following the instruction given on the site for extracting the files; however, that only issued a warning about an incorrect operating system.
First use rpm2cpio of archivers/rpm to get a cpio package. Then continue with standard cpio(1).
