grep - exact

I'm trying to use grep to search for a specific string. Given the following strings:

.A BAGM4 0101 Z DH1300/PPD T/SF T/SD 10
.A CLUM4 0101 Z DH1300/PP T/SF T/SD 9
.A MQT 0101 Z DH1200/PPK T/SFK 2.0/SD 15

I only want to get the string that contains PPD. If I do the command:

grep PPD ./filename

I get all lines that contain PP. So in this case I would get all three lines. How can I modify grep to get only the line that contains PPD? Now bear in mind the "real" file i'm looking through contains lots of different lines, not just three. Also the information within the lines changes on a daily basis, the only thing that doesn't change is the second field, and the letters. I tried the "-x" option, that doesn't work because I'm not including the full field that contains PPD. So i need something that explicity finds PPD within a line. Thanks in advance.

CUPS-GENPPDUPDATE(8)					      Gutenprint Manual Pages					      CUPS-GENPPDUPDATE(8)

NAME
cups-genppdupdate - update Gutenprint PPD files SYNOPSIS
cups-genppdupdate [-h] [-n] [-N] [-q | -v] [-s ppd-directory] [-s output-directory] [PPD-FILES or QUEUES...] DESCRIPTION
cups-genppdupdate regenerates the Gutenprint PPD files in use by CUPS, using the PPD files under /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint as tem- plates. The new PPD file replaces the old PPD file under /private/etc/cups/ppd, but all the options set in the old PPD will be merged into the new PPD, provided that they are still valid in the new file. If no files or queue names are specified, cups-genppdupdate updates all Gutenprint PPD files in /private/etc/cups/ppd. Otherwise, cups-genppdupdate updates all files or queues listed on the command line. cups-genppdupdate does not update Foomatic PPD files or PPD files from Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier. cups-genppdupdate does not restart cupsd. cupsd will need manually reloading (or send SIGHUP) once cups-genppdupdate has completed. OPTIONS
-h Show a help message. -n No action. The program will run, but the old PPD files will not be replaced. -q Quiet mode. No messages will be issued, apart from errors. -v Verbose mode. More informative messages will be issued. Note that extremely verbose output may be turned on by setting $debug=1 in the source, but this output will not be of use to the average user. -s ppd-directory Use ppd-directory as the base directory to read PPD files from. By default, the base directory is /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint. Under this directory, the PPD files are located in subdirectories according to language code and territory. -o output-directory Place updated PPD files in output-directory. By default, this is the same as the input directory. -N Reset all options to their defaults (do not merge options from the current PPD file) SEE ALSO
