NAME
       ppdi - import ppd files (deprecated)


SYNOPSIS
       ppdi [ -I include-directory ] [ -o source-file ] ppd-file [ ...  ppd-file ]


DESCRIPTION
       ppdi imports one or more PPD files into a PPD compiler source file.  Multiple languages of
       the same PPD file are merged into a  single  printer  definition  to  facilitate  accurate
       changes for all localizations.  This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
       release of CUPS.


OPTIONS
       ppdi supports the following options:

       -I include-directory
            Specifies an alternate include directory.  Multiple -I options can be supplied to add
            additional directories.

       -o source-file
            Specifies  the  PPD  source file to update.  If the source file does not exist, a new
            source file is created.  Otherwise the existing file  is  merged  with  the  new  PPD
            file(s)  on  the command-line.  If no source file is specified, the filename ppdi.drv
            is used.


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 supported using applications such as
       ippeveprinter(1).
