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.
