DESCRIPTION
cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD files to the Adobe
PostScript Printer Description file format specification
version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported
options and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of
testing and any other output are sent to the standard out-
put.
The first form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on
the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file pro-
vided on the standard input.

-I filename
Ignores all PCFileName warnings.

-W all
Report all of the previous errors as warnings.
-W none

Specifies that no information should be displayed.

should be displayed rather than the concise
PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
-vv
Specifies that all information in the PPD file should
be displayed in addition to the detailed conformance
testing results.
The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.

cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on error.
The error codes are as follows:
1
Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
2
Unable to open or read PPD file.
3
The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be
skipped.
4
The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specifi-
cation.
