SYNOPSIS
ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ... ppd-file ]
DESCRIPTION
ppdmerge merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language PPD
file. This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
release of CUPS.
OPTIONS
ppdmerge supports the following options:
-o output-ppd-file
Specifies the PPD file to create. If not specified, the merged
PPD file is written to the standard output. If the output file
already exists, it is silently overwritten.

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 sup-
ported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
ppdmerge does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same
device. Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable
results.
