ppdmerge(1) Apple Inc. ppdmerge(1) NAME ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated) 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. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------+ |Availability | print/cups | +---------------+------------------+ |Stability | Volatile | +---------------+------------------+ 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.
