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
templates. 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/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)
