FOOMATIC-PPDLOAD(8)                                        FOOMATIC-PPDLOAD(8)



NAME
       foomatic-ppdload - <put a short description here>

SYNOPSIS
       foomatic-ppdload -h

       foomatic-ppdload filename.ppd printer-id

       foomatic-ppdload -R printer-id


DESCRIPTION
       foomatic-ppdload  takes  a ppd filename and a printer ID as arguments.  It parses a
       PPD file and writes option data  into  the  foomatic  database  for  use  with  the
       foomatic "ppd" driver and that printer.

       With  the  -R  option you can remove a printer from the "ppd" driver, and with -h a
       short help text is shown.

       Right now, it will handle Boolean and PickOne options that go in the Prolog,  Docu-
       mentSetup,  or  PageSetup spots.  Also, PPD interoption constraints (not to be con-
       fused with foomatic option to printer and driver mapping constraints) are not  sup-
       ported by foomatic.  And of course, the interesting color and font information from
       the PPD has no place in the current foomatic schema.  All  this  will  change  over
       time.




EXIT STATUS
       foomatic-ppdload returns ...
