NAME

       ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ...	ppd-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       ppdmerge  merges  two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language PPD file.	This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
       release of CUPS.

OPTIONS

       ppdmerge supports the following options:

       -o output-ppd-file
	      Specifies the PPD file to create.  If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to the standard  output.   If  the  output  file
	      already exists, it is silently overwritten.

NOTES

       ppdmerge  does  not  check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.  Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable
       results.

NAME

       ppdc - cups ppd compiler

SYNOPSIS

       ppdc [ -D name[=value] ] [ -I include-directory ] [ -c message-catalog ] [ -d output-directory ] [ -l language(s) ] [-m] [-t] [ -v ] [ -z ]
       [ --cr ] [ --crlf ] [ --lf ] source-file

DESCRIPTION

       ppdc compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files. This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.

       The -D option sets the named variable for use in the source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive in the source file.

       The -I option specifies an alternate include directory; multiple -I options can be supplied to add additional directories.

       The -c option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.

       The -d option specifies the output directory for PPD files. The default output directory is "ppd".

       The -l option specifies one or more languages to use when localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en" (English). Separate mul-
       tiple  languages  with commas, for example "de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD files with German, UK English,
       Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US), French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.

       The -m option specifies that the output filename should be based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.

       The -t option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of generated.

       The -v option provides more verbose output, basically a running status of which files are being loaded or written.

       The -z option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).	The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.

       The --cr, --crlf, and --lf options specify the line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and  line  feed,  or  line	feed.  The
       default is to use the line feed character alone.
