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 depre‐
       cated 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.	Oth‐
	    erwise the existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line.  If no source  file  is  speci‐
	    fied, 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).
