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).
