NAME
cups-driverd - cups driver daemon
SYNOPSIS
cups-driverd cat ppd-name
cups-driverd list request_id limit options
DESCRIPTION
cups-driverd shows or lists PPD files. It is run in response
to CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer or CUPS-Get-Devices requests.
The first form ("cups-driverd cat ppd-name") writes the
named PPD file to stdout. The output format is an uncom-
pressed PPD file.
The second form lists the available manufacturers or PPD
files to stdout as indicated by the options argument. The
output format is an IPP response message. The request_id
argument is the request ID from the original IPP request,
typically 1. The limit argument is the limit value from the
original IPP request - 0 means no limit. Finally, the
options argument is a space-delimited list of attributes
("name=value name=value ...") that were passed in with the
request. Currently cups-driverd looks for the ppd-make and
requested-attributes attributes and tailors the output
accordingly.
DRIVERS
Drivers can be static PPD files under the
/usr/share/cups/model directory or programs under the
/usr/lib/cups/driver directory. Static PPD files must con-
form to the Adobe PPD File Format Specification version 4.3
and may be compressed using the gzip(1) program. Driver pro-
grams must implement the command-line interface shown in the
next section.
DRIVER PROGRAMS
Driver programs provide an interface to dynamically-gener-
ated PPD files. The following arguments are currently
defined:
drivername list
Lists the supported PPD files to stdout.
drivername cat ppdname
Writes the named PPD file to stdout.
LISTING FILES (drivername list)
When run with the single argument "list", the program must
list the available PPD files it can generate to stdout using
the following format:
"drivername:ppdname" language "make" "make and model" "1284 device id"

Drivername is the name of the driver program. Ppdname is the
name used to select the given driver. Language is the locale
associated with the default language of the PPD file, typi-
cally "en". Make is the Manufacturer name from the PPD file.
Make and model is the NickName name from the PPD file. 1284
device id is the 1284DeviceId from the PPD file, if any.
WRITING FILES (drivername cat ppdname)
When the driver program is run with the "cat ppdname" argu-
ments, it must write the named PPD file to stdout, uncom-
pressed. If the named PPD file does not exist, the driver
program must not write any output to stdout and report the
error to stderr instead.
DRIVER ERROR MESSAGES
Error messages can be relayed back to cupsd by writing them
to stderr. The following prefixes are recognized:
DEBUG: [drivername]
Debugging messages
ERROR: [drivername]
Error messages
INFO: [drivername]
Informational messages
