It can be difficult to do things with PPD files that weren't planned;
for instance changing the default in a PPD sounds as though it should
have the effect of setting that value, but it may have the opposite
effect, since the default is intended to tell the driver what the
printer's default actually is, and so it does not need to set it.

If your PPD consumer supports the "patch file" feature that may be the
safest bet.  Bear in mind a transfer function has to be set at the
start of each page.
