| <b>ppdmerge</b> merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language |
| PPD file. |
| <b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.</b> |
| <h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2> |
| <b>ppdmerge</b> supports the following options: |
| <dl class="man"> |
| <dt><b>-o </b><i>output-ppd-file</i> |
| <dd style="margin-left: 3.0em">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. |
| </dl> |
| <h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2> |
| 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 |
| <b>ippeveprinter</b>(1). |
| <p><b>ppdmerge</b> does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device. |
| Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results. |
