<b>ppdmerge</b> merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language
PPD file.
<b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.</b>
<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
<b>ppdmerge</b> supports the following options:
<dl class="man">
<dt><b>-o </b><i>output-ppd-file</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 3.0em">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.
</dl>
<h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2>
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
<a href="man-ippeveprinter.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>ippeveprinter</b>(1).</a>
<p><b>ppdmerge</b> does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.
Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
