FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)					      General Commands Manual					       FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)

NAME

       foomatic-ppdfile - Generate a PPD file for a given printer/driver combo

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-ppdfile [-w] [-d <driver>] -p <printerid>
       foomatic-ppdfile [-A] [-P pattern]
       foomatic-ppdfile -h

DESCRIPTION

       The first form of the foomatic-ppdfile to compute the spooler-independent Foomatic PPD file for any valid printer/driver combo available in
       the Foomatic database, both for printing with foomatic-rip(1) and for applications/clients being able to access the printer's options.  The
       PPD file is returned on standard ouput.	If the driver is not specified, the default driver is used.

       The  second form of the foomatic-ppdfile program will search the printer database and return either all printer entries or those whose name
       and/or model information match a regular expression.

       The last form prints a help message and exits.

   Options
       -d drivername
	    The (optional) driver name to use.	If the driver name is not supplied, the default or first driver in the printers compatible  driver
	    list is used.

       -p   printer id The printer id.

       -w   Return a PPD file that conforms to the Microsoft Windows format limitations.

       -A   Return all printer entries in the database.

       -Ppattern
	    Return all printer entries in the database which match the regular expression.

       SEE ALSO
	      foomatic-rip(1)

EXIT STATUS

       foomatic-ppdfile returns 0 on success, 1 otherwise.
