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).
