FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)                                        FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)



NAME
       foomatic-ppdfile - Generate a PPD file for a given printer/driver combo

SYNOPSIS
       foomatic-ppdfile [-w] [-d <driver>] -p <printerid>
       foomatic-ppdfile [-A] [-P pattern]
       foomatic-ppdfile -h


DESCRIPTION
       The  first form of the foomatic-ppdfile to compute the spooler-independent Foomatic
       PPD file for any valid printer/driver combo available  in  the  Foomatic  database,
       both  for  printing with foomatic-rip(1) and for applications/clients being able to
       access the printer’s options.  The PPD file is returned on standard ouput.  If  the
       driver is not specified, the default driver is used.


       The  second  form  of the foomatic-ppdfile program will search the printer database
       and return either all printer entries or those whose name and/or model  information
       match a regular expression.

       The last form prints a help message and exits.


   Options
       -d drivername
            The  (optional)  driver  name to use.  If the driver name is not supplied, the
            default or first driver in the printers compatible driver list is used.


       -p   printer id The printer id.


       -w   Return a PPD file that conforms to the Microsoft Windows format limitations.


       -A   Return all printer entries in the database.


       -Ppattern
            Return all printer entries in the database which match the regular expression.
