PCLOS says bad PPD file

I'm back again.... Everything working in Linux Mint so obviously PPD file is OK there.

In PCLOS, creating printer I get message PPD file doesn't meet specifications. I found this site to test a PPD file, http://www.cups.org/testppd.php

Using the PPD file Canon_PIXMA_iP5200.ppd it says..
Canon_PIXMA_iP5200.ppd: FAIL
**FAIL** Bad Resolution choice 600x600dpi_1!
REF: Page 84, section 5.9
**FAIL** Bad Resolution choice 600x600dpi_2!
REF: Page 84, section 5.9
**FAIL** Bad Resolution choice 600x600dpi_3!
REF: Page 84, section 5.9
WARN zedoColorM shares a common prefix with zedoColorModel
REF: Page 15, section 3.2.
WARN zedoColorC shares a common prefix with zedoColorCorrection
REF: Page 15, section 3.2.

Can I do something about this?

more info...... I found out about using CUPS directly http://localhost:631. I set up printer pointing to Turboprint PPD file, no errors, it works. So it seems clear it is some PCLOS problem.
