NAME

       cups-genppdupdate - update CUPS+Gutenprint PPD files

SYNOPSIS

       cups-genppdupdate [-h] [-n] [-N] [-q | -v] [-s ppd-directory] [-s output-directory] [PPD-FILES or QUEUES...]

DESCRIPTION

       cups-genppdupdate  regenerates  the Gutenprint PPD files in use by CUPS, using the PPD files under /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint as tem-
       plates.	The new PPD file replaces the old PPD file under /etc/cups/ppd, but all the options set in the old PPD will be merged into the new
       PPD, provided that they are still valid in the new file.

       If  no  files or queue names are specified, cups-genppdupdate updates all Gutenprint PPD files in /etc/cups/ppd.  Otherwise, cups-genppdup-
       date updates all files or queues listed on the command line.

       cups-genppdupdate does not update Foomatic PPD files or PPD files from Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier.

       cups-genppdupdate does not restart cupsd.  cupsd will need manually reloading (or send SIGHUP) once cups-genppdupdate has completed.

OPTIONS

       -h     Show a help message.

       -n     No action.  The program will run, but the old PPD files will not be replaced.

       -q     Quiet mode.  No messages will be issued, apart from errors.

       -v     Verbose mode.  More informative messages will be issued.	Note that extremely verbose output may be turned on by setting $debug=1 in
	      the source, but this output will not be of use to the average user.

       -s ppd-directory
	      Use ppd-directory as the base directory to read PPD files from.  By default, the base directory is /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.
	      Under this directory, the PPD files are located in subdirectories according to language code and territory.

       -o output-directory
	      Place updated PPD files in output-directory.  By default, this is the same as the input directory.

       -N     Reset all options to their defaults (do not merge options from the current PPD file)
