CUPS-GENPPDUPDATE(8)        Gutenprint Manual Pages       CUPS-GENPPDUPDATE(8)



NAME
       cups-genppdupdate - update CUPS+Gutenprint PPD files

SYNOPSIS
       cups-genppdupdate  [-h] [-n] [-N] [-q | -v] [-s ppd-directory] [-s out-
       put-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-genppdupdate
       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/guten-
              print.  Under this directory, the PPD files are located in  sub-
              directories 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)
