NAME
     cups-genppd - generate Gutenprint PPD  files  for  use  with
     CUPS

SYNOPSIS
     cups-genppd [-c localedir] [-l locale] [-p prefix] [-q] [-v]
     model1 [model2, ...modeln]
     cups-genppd -L [-c localedir]
     cups-genppd -M [-v]
     cups-genppd -h
     cups-genppd -V

DESCRIPTION
     cups-genppd generates Gutenprint  PPD  files  for  use  with
     CUPS.   The  default behavior is to output PPD files for all
     models of printer that the Gutenprint printer driver library
     supports.  You may restrict the models by listing either the
     driver names or the full names of the printers you  wish  to
     generate PPD files for after any options.  Additionally, the
     PPD files may be localised, that is, translated, to use your
     native  language rather than US English.  There are commands
     to find out what printer models and languages are supported.

EXAMPLES
     cups-genppd -v bjc-6200 'Epson Stylus Photo
          verbosely generate three PPD files, listing the  driver
          name  in  the  first  case,  and  the  full name in the
          second.

     LANG=de_DE genppd -p ppd -c /usr/share/locale
          generate PPDs for all available  models,  in  directory
          ppd    using    the    locale    data    found    under
          /usr/share/locale.  The language to use is  taken  from
          the environment (de_DE).

     cups-genppd -L -c /usr/local/share/locale
          list available languages using the  locale  data  found
          under /usr/local/share/locale.

     cups-genppd -M -v
          list available drivers, with long model descriptions

COMMANDS
     -h   show a help message

     -L   list available translations (message catalogs).   If  a
          locale  is  used for which there is not a corresponding
          translation, then then US English will be used.

     -M   list available printer models.  By default, only driver
          names  are  listed;  if  verbose mode is used, the full
          model name will also be printed

     -V   show version information and defaults

          The default behavior is to output PPDs if no command is
          given.

OPTIONS
     -c localedir
          use localedir as the base directory for locale data

     -l locale
          output PPDs translated with messages for locale.   Note
          that  locale  must  be  a locale as shown by locale -a.
          For example, the de translation is used  by  the  de_DE
          locale; de alone will not work.

     -p prefix
          output PPDs in directory prefix.  Directories  are  not
          recursively created.

     -q   Quiet mode.

     -v   Verbose mode.

     models
          a list of printer models, either the driver  or  quoted
          full name.
