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.

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).

       ppdmerge does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.  Merging  of
       different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
