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  localiza-
       tions.	This program is	deprecated and will be removed in a future re-
       lease 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.	Otherwise the existing
	    file is merged with	the new	PPD file(s) on the  command-line.   If
	    no source file is specified, 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  sup-
       ported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
