If you don't have an entry in NSGlobalDomain then the application domain (I 
assume Graphos) would be relevant for you. The sharedPrintInfo domain is 
irrelevant for gui as far as I can tell. You could try and just delete all 
those defaults. In that case the code should find the ppd file in the /System 
directory.
