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.
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.
PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as
ippeveprinter(1).
