NAME
       cups-genppdupdate - update CUPS+Gutenprint PPD files


SYNOPSIS
       cups-genppdupdate  [-h] [-n] [-N] [-q | -v] [-s ppd-directory] [-s output-directory] [PPD-
       FILES or QUEUES...]


DESCRIPTION
       cups-genppdupdate regenerates the Gutenprint PPD files in use by CUPS, using the PPD files
       under  /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint  as  templates.  The new PPD file replaces the old
       PPD file under /etc/cups/ppd, but all the options set in the old PPD will be  merged  into
       the new PPD, provided that they are still valid in the new file.

       If  no  files  or  queue names are specified, cups-genppdupdate updates all Gutenprint PPD
       files in /etc/cups/ppd.  Otherwise, cups-genppdupdate updates all files or  queues  listed
       on the command line.

       cups-genppdupdate does not update PPD files from Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier.

       cups-genppdupdate  does  not  restart  cupsd.  cupsd will need manually reloading (or send
       SIGHUP) once cups-genppdupdate has completed.


OPTIONS
       -h     Show a help message.

       -n     No action.  The program will run, but the old PPD files will not be replaced.

       -q     Quiet mode.  No messages will be issued, apart from errors.

       -v     Verbose mode.  More informative messages  will  be  issued.   Note  that  extremely
              verbose  output may be turned on by setting $debug=1 in the source, but this output
              will not be of use to the average user.

       -s ppd-directory
              Use ppd-directory as the base directory to read PPD files from.   By  default,  the
              base  directory is /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.  Under this directory, the PPD
              files are located in subdirectories according to language code and territory.

       -o output-directory
              Place updated PPD files in output-directory.  By default, this is the same  as  the
              input directory.

       -N     Reset  all  options  to  their  defaults (do not merge options from the current PPD
              file)
