NAME
foomatic-ppdload - <put a short description here>
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-ppdload -h foomatic-ppdload filename.ppd printer-id foomatic-ppdload -R printer-id
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-ppdload takes a ppd filename and a printer ID as arguments. It parses a PPD file and writes option data into the foomatic data- base for use with the foomatic "ppd" driver and that printer. With the -R option you can remove a printer from the "ppd" driver, and with -h a short help text is shown. Right now, it will handle Boolean and PickOne options that go in the Prolog, DocumentSetup, or PageSetup spots. Also, PPD interoption con- straints (not to be confused with foomatic option to printer and driver mapping constraints) are not supported by foomatic. And of course, the interesting color and font information from the PPD has no place in the current foomatic schema. All this will change over time.
EXIT STATUS
foomatic-ppdload returns ...
