I apologise for doubting you I think the fault is in the PPD file. I have a second computer for my grandchildren and visitors and this also has a network printer. This is usually turned off and I use the one in my study (WF). I have turned the printer on (XP) and this is recognised by the clean install of 17.10 and prints correctly!
I enclose the PPD file for this. I will do the other tests you sugest later.
