NAME
     foomatic-ppdfile   -   Generate  a  PPD  file  for  a  given
     printer/driver combo

SYNOPSIS
     foomatic-ppdfile [-w] [-d <driver>] -p <printerid>
     foomatic-ppdfile [-A] [-P pattern]
     foomatic-ppdfile -h


DESCRIPTION
     The first  form  of  the  foomatic-ppdfile  to  compute  the
     spooler-independent   Foomatic   PPD   file  for  any  valid
     printer/driver combo available  in  the  Foomatic  database,
     both  for  printing  with  foomatic-rip(1)  and for applica-
     tions/clients being able to access  the  printer's  options.
     The  PPD  file is returned on standard ouput.  If the driver
     is not specified, the default driver is used.


     The second form of the foomatic-ppdfile program will  search
     the  printer  database and return either all printer entries
     or those whose name and/or model information match a regular
     expression.


     The last form prints a help message and exits.


  Options
     -d drivername
          The  (optional) driver name to use.  If the driver name
          is not supplied, the default or  first  driver  in  the
          printers compatible driver list is used.


     -p   printer id The printer id.


     -w   Return  a  PPD file that conforms to the Microsoft Win-
          dows format limitations.


     -A   Return all printer entries in the database.


     -Ppattern
          Return all printer entries in the database which  match
          the regular expression.
