NAME
ppdi - import ppd files (deprecated)
SYNOPSIS
ppdi [
-I include-directory ] [
-o source-file ]
ppd-file [ ...
ppd-file ]
DESCRIPTION
ppdi imports one or more PPD files into a PPD compiler source file.
Multiple languages of the same PPD file are merged into a single
printer definition to facilitate accurate changes for all
localizations.
This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.OPTIONS
ppdi supports the following options:
-I include-directory Specifies an alternate include directory. Multiple
-I options
can be supplied to add additional directories.
-o source-file Specifies the PPD source file to update. If the source file
does not exist, a new source file is created. Otherwise the
existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-
line. If no source file is specified, the filename
ppdi.drv is
used.
NOTES
PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future
feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP can be
supported using applications such as
ippeveprinter(1).
