Good afternoon. :)
I'm rather new to bash scripting, and have probably bitten off a bit more than I can chew to be honest, but I work in a service desk-like environment where one of the main complaints is that it takes our staff a long time to set up network printers on our clients' servers.... (3 Replies)

CUPS-GENPPD(8) Gutenprint Manual Pages CUPS-GENPPD(8)
NAME
cups-genppd - generate Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS
SYNOPSIS
cups-genppd [-c localedir] [-l locale] [-p prefix] [-q] [-v] model1 [model2, ...modeln]
cups-genppd -L [-c localedir]
cups-genppd -M [-v]
cups-genppd -h
cups-genppd -V
DESCRIPTION
cups-genppd generates Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS. The default behavior is to output PPD files for all models of printer that
the Gutenprint printer driver library supports. You may restrict the models by listing either the driver names or the full names of the
printers you wish to generate PPD files for after any options. Additionally, the PPD files may be localised, that is, translated, to use
your native language rather than US English. There are commands to find out what printer models and languages are supported.
EXAMPLES
cups-genppd -v bjc-6200 'Epson Stylus Photo 1280' 'HP DeskJet 850C'
verbosely generate three PPD files, listing the driver name in the first case, and the full name in the second.
LANG=de_DE genppd -p ppd -c /usr/share/locale
generate PPDs for all available models, in directory ppd using the locale data found under /usr/share/locale. The language to use
is taken from the environment (de_DE).
cups-genppd -L -c /usr/local/share/locale
list available languages using the locale data found under /usr/local/share/locale.
cups-genppd -M -v
list available drivers, with long model descriptions
COMMANDS
-h show a help message
-L list available translations (message catalogs). If a locale is used for which there is not a corresponding translation, then then
US English will be used.
-M list available printer models. By default, only driver names are listed; if verbose mode is used, the full model name will also be
printed
-V show version information and defaults
The default behavior is to output PPDs if no command is given.
OPTIONS
-c localedir
use localedir as the base directory for locale data
-l locale
output PPDs translated with messages for locale. Note that locale must be a locale as shown by locale -a. For example, the de
translation is used by the de_DE locale; de alone will not work.
-p prefix
output PPDs in directory prefix. Directories are not recursively created.
-q Quiet mode.
-v Verbose mode.
models a list of printer models, either the driver or quoted full name.
