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)
