FOOMATIC-COMPILEDB(1) General Commands Manual FOOMATIC-COMPILEDB(1) NAME foomatic-compiledb - Compile the Foomatic printer/driver database SYNOPSIS foomatic-compiledb [ -t type ] [ -f ] [ -j n ] [ driver ... ] DESCRIPTION foomatic-compiledb generates all PPD files or Foomatic combo XML files for all possible printer/driver combos, or only for a selected range of dri- vers. It generally should not be necessary except for people who want to generate a set of Foomatic data files for distribution. For configuring single printers foomatic-ppdfile(1) and especially foomatic-configure(1) will automagically compute just what they need. Options -t type Output file type, either ppd or xml. -f Force: Write into the destination directory even if it already exists. -j n n = number of work processes to run driver ... only generate data files for these driver(s) SEE ALSO foomatic-ppdfile(1),foomatic-configure(1) EXIT STATUS foomatic-compiledb returns 0 unless something unexpected happens. AUTHORS Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> and Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> for the foomatic project using output from the associated binary. BUGS Existing files are always conserved instead of older files being overwrit- ten. So deleting the destination directory (rm -rf dir) and calling foomatic-compiledb without the -f option is recommended.
