For Windows PostScript drivers, you can't change the PPD; the PPD is a part of the single driver installation (well, maybe you can by hacking the driver).

Of course, if you are trying to print PDFs, this would have nothing to do with any HP drivers. You would use the Distiller printer. You install the Distiller printer from your FrameMaker or Acrobat CD. At some point during this PostScript driver installation, you will be prompted for the PPD. Use the Distiller PPD instead. You used to be able to download the PPD for Acrobat 3.x (which came with FrameMaker 5.5.x) from the Adobe Support Downloads area. The PPD for Acrobat 4 (Adist4.ppd) and 5 (Adist5.ppd) is only on the product CD.

Now, if you go through all that and don't have Distiller installed, try this: install from your Windows CD a true Adobe PostScript printer driver (say an Apple Laserwriter one). Then, try the Distiller printer reinstallation again.

Of course, if your problem is none of that, if your problem is that you cannot print to your HP 5Si printer and get printed pages of paper, then let us know; is this a problem for FrameMaker only or can no other apps print to that printer? In any event, this is likely an HP driver issue, so check the HP site for updated drivers for your OS.

Does this help? I am beginning to think your problem is with creating PDFs, but I can see no specific mention of PDFs in here. I was previously thinking you could not print to your HP printer. Can you clarify this point?
