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.
