How to add a new driver as PPD-file to CUPS? |

I'd like to print on GuixSD. I'm using the cups-service in my system
configuration.
How do I add a PPD-file driver for my printer? Do I have to create a
package for it?
What I tried so far:
I downloaded a PPD file for my printer from openprinting.org. I used
CUPS' web-interface localhost:631 to add a printer and chose that
PPD file as driver.
When I tried to print now, it failed with these line in the
/var/log/cups/error_log:

I'd guess the breaking part is "sh: gs: command not found". The
reason for this probably is that the PPD-file contains this line:
*FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "gs -q -dBATCH -dPARANOIDSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dNO&&
