Your Sharp MX-2300N uses a built-in Ghostscript printer driver that comes with Puppy, so you only need to install the PPD file. These are usually placed in the folder /usr/share/cups/model.

I have packaged the correct PPD file for your printer in a PET and attached it below.

[Edit] It looks like your printer is Postscript-compatible. So you should be able to use the PPD file that you have now. Just copy it to /usr/share/cups/model.

[Edit] This is a networked printer. Does it require a password when you use it from Windows?
