You missed to include your complete papd.conf entry, so I can only guess.
But I had the the same "Connection refused" errors.
One of my papd.conf entries is:
Lasie2:\
:pr=|/usr/bin/lpr -Plasie:\
:op=deltaman:\
:pd=/etc/atalk/LC890.ppd:
where "deltaman" is a mortal user, lasie a printer in printcap, and "/etc/atalk/LC890.ppd" the path
to my PPD file.
I.e. I piped the data through lpr instead of giving just the name of my printcap printer.
Don't know what goes wrong with your PPD file.

Carsten
