CUPS-GENPPDCONFIG(8) Gutenprint Manual Pages CUPS-GENPPDCONFIG(8)
NAME
cups-genppdconfig - a user-friendly interface to generate Gutenprint
PPD files for use with CUPS
SYNOPSIS
cups-genppdconfig [-d ppd_directory]
update-cups-genppd [-d pdd_directory]
DESCRIPTION
cups-genppdconfig generates Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS.
The program allows the selection of the base directory to create the
PPDs in, and the printers and languages desired. The default settings
are taken from the contents of the base directory. Note that unselect-
ing an item will not remove it from the disk; you must remove unwanted
printers and languages by deleting the files and directories respec-
tively.
If dialog is installed, it will be used to create the user interface,
using colour, 3D-look dialog boxes etc. If dialog cannot be found,
perlmenu will be used instead to create a simpler, though functionally
identical, interface.
OPTIONS
-d ppd-directory
Use ppd-directory as the base directory to create PPD files in.
The default printer and language selections will also be
obtained from this directory. By default, the base directory is
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.
