Unable to add "Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF" in RHEL 6

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

I have Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF PPD (PostScript Printer Definition) file copied from RHEL 7. I have copied the PPD and installed a Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF printer, but while printing I'm getting an "unsupported document supported file application/pdf" error.
