ppdi - import ppd files (deprecated)
ppdi [
-I include-directory ] [
-o
source-file ]
ppd-file [ ...
ppd-file ]
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.
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.
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).
