NAME

       ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       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

       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

       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.
