NAME
     cupstestppd - test conformance of ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS
     cupstestppd  [ -I category ] [ -R rootdir ] [ -W category ] [ -q ] [ -r ] [
     -v[v] ] filename.ppd[.gz] [ ...  filename.ppd[.gz] ]
     cupstestppd [ -R rootdir ] [ -W category ] [ -q ] [ -r ] [ -v[v] ] -

DESCRIPTION
     cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD  files  to  the  Adobe  PostScript
     Printer  Description file format specification version 4.3.  It can also be
     used to list the supported options and available fonts in a PPD file.   The
     results of testing and any other output are sent to the standard output.

     The  first  form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on the command-
     line.  The second form tests the PPD file provided on the standard input.

OPTIONS
     cupstestppd supports the following options:

     -I filename
	  Ignores all PCFileName warnings.

     -I filters
	  Ignores all filter errors.

     -I profiles
	  Ignores all profile errors.

     -R rootdir
	  Specifies an alternate root directory for the filter, pre-filter,  and
	  other support file checks.

     -W constraints
	  Report all UIConstraint errors as warnings.

     -W defaults
	  Except  for  size-related options, report all default option errors as
	  warnings.

     -W filters
	  Report all filter errors as warnings.

     -W profiles
	  Report all profile errors as warnings.

     -W sizes
	  Report all media size errors as warnings.

     -W translations
	  Report all translation errors as warnings.

     -W all
	  Report all of the previous errors as warnings.

     -W none
	  Report all of the previous errors as errors.

     -q   Specifies that no information should be displayed.

     -r   Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so  that  common  whitespace,
	  control character, and formatting problems are not treated as hard er-
	  rors.

     -v   Specifies  that  detailed  conformance  testing results should be dis-
	  played rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.

     -vv  Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be displayed  in
	  addition to the detailed conformance testing results.

     The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.

EXIT STATUS
     cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on error.  The error codes
     are as follows:

     1	  Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.

     2	  Unable to open or read PPD file.

     3	  The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.

     4	  The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.

EXAMPLES
     The  following  command will test all PPD files under the current directory
     and print the names of each file that does not conform:

	 find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -print

     The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory and  print
     detailed conformance testing results for the files that do not conform:

	 find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; \
	     -exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \;

NOTES
     PPD  files  are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future fea-
     ture release of CUPS.  Printers that do not support IPP  can  be  supported
     using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
