ppdi(1)                          OpenPrinting                          ppdi(1)


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.


NOTES

       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).
