Name
ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)
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 supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
ppdmerge does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device. Merging of different
device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
Options
ppdmerge supports the following options:
-ooutput-ppd-file
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.
