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.

NAME

       foomatic-addpjloptions - Format PJL option information the for foomatic database

SYNOPSIS

       foomatic-addpjloptions [-dafis][-o dir] -p printer_ID [pjl_info_file]

       foomatic-addpjloptions [-dafq] [pjl_info_file]

       foomatic-addpjloptions -h

Description
       foomatic-addpjloptions formats the PJL information file (or STDIN) into a format usable by the Foomatic database.

   Options
       -a   Convert all PJL options in the information file.

       -d   Enable debugging information.

       -f   Do not ask for permission, force conversion.

       -h   Print a help message and exit.

       -q   Print a summary of the PJL information.  This output is not compatible with the foomatic database, and is useful for debugging.

       -s   Produce a single option file containing all the option values.

       -o dir
	    The directory the option information files are written to.

       -p printer_ID
	    Name of the printer in the foomatic database.  This is used to extract printer manufacturer and model information.

       pjl_info_file
	    File with PJL information returned by the printer. If this filename is not provided, the PJL options are taken from standard input.

FILES

       /usr/share/foomatic/templates/pjl*.xml
	    Template files for option information.
