(Sorry, I don't have FC6, so I can't check the new system-config-printer.)

Say you are adding a new printer using the wizard.  You get to the 
screen "Printer model" when you realize you forgot to add the PPD.  The 
wizard doesn't let you add a PPD at this point, and since the wizard is 
modal, you can't add a PPD from the main window.  So, you have to abort 
the wizard to add a PPD.

It would be easier and intuitive to have an "Add a PPD" button on the 
Wizard's "Printer model" page.
