NAME top

       ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS top

       ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ...  ppd-file ]

DESCRIPTION top

       ppdmerge merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language
       PPD file.  This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
       release of CUPS.

OPTIONS top

       ppdmerge supports the following options:

       -o output-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.

NOTES top

       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.
