NAME

6       ppdi - import ppd files (deprecated)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ppdi  [  -I include-directory ] [ -o source-file ] ppd-file [ ...  ppd-
10       file ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       ppdi imports one or more PPD files into a  PPD  compiler  source  file.
14       Multiple  languages  of  the  same  PPD  file  are merged into a single
15       printer definition to facilitate accurate  changes  for  all  localiza‐
16       tions.   This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future re‐
17       lease of CUPS.
18

OPTIONS

20       ppdi supports the following options:
21
22       -I include-directory
23            Specifies an alternate include directory.  Multiple -I options can
24            be supplied to add additional directories.
25
26       -o source-file
27            Specifies  the PPD source file to update.  If the source file does
28            not exist, a new source file is created.  Otherwise  the  existing
29            file  is  merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line.  If
30            no source file is specified, the filename ppdi.drv is used.
31

NOTES

33       PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported  in  a  future
34       feature  release of CUPS.  Printers that do not support IPP can be sup‐
35       ported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
