<H1 CLASS="title">PPD Compiler Driver Information File Reference</H1>
<p>The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
of one or more PPD files to be generated by
<a href="man-ppdc.html">ppdc(1)</a> or the corresponding driver interface
program <a href="man-drv.html">drv(1)</a>. The source file format is plain
ASCII text that can be edited using your favorite text editor.</p>
<p>Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by
zero or more values.</p>
<p>Comments are supported using the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment
mechanisms.</p>
<p>Directives that accept expressions look for sequences of the form:</p>
<dl>
<dt>NAME</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is defined, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>number</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to the specified integer; the number can be preceded by
a leading sign (+/-) followed by a decimal number (1234), octal number
(01234), or hexadecimal number (0x1234) using the same rules as C and
C++.</dd>
<dt>(NAME NAME ... number number ...)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to the bitwise OR of each named #define constant or
number.</dd>
<dt>(NAME == OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME == number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is equal to the other named constant or
number, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>(NAME != OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME != number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is not equal to the other named constant or
number, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>(NAME < OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME < number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is less than to the other named constant or
number, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>(NAME <= OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME <= number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is less than or equal to the other named
constant or number, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>(NAME > OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME > number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is greater than to the other named constant
or number, otherwise 0.</dd>
<dt>(NAME >= OTHERNAME)</dt>
<dt>(NAME >= number)</dt>
<dd>Evaluates to 1 if NAME is greater than or equal to the other named
constant or number, otherwise 0.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using
curly braces ({ ... }); PPD files are written when a close
brace or end-of-file is seen and a <a href="#PCFileName">PCFileName</a>
directive has been defined.</p>

</pre>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
#font Courier Standard "(1.05)" Standard ROM
#font Symbol Special "(001.005)" Special ROM
#font Barcode-Foo Special "(1.0)" Special Disk
#font Unicode-Foo Expert "(2.0)" Adobe-Identity ROM
</pre>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>#font</code> directive defines a "base font" for all
printer drivers. The name is the PostScript font name.</p>
<p>The encoding is the default encoding of the font, usually
<code>Standard</code>, <code>Expert</code>, or <code>Special</code>, as
defined in the Adobe PPD file specification.</p>
<p>The version is the PostScript string definition that
corresponds to the font version number.</p>
<p>The charset defines the available characters in the font,
usually <code>Standard</code> or <code>Special</code>, as defined in the
Adobe PPD file specification.</p>
<p>The status is the installation status of the font and must be
either the word <code>ROM</code> or <code>Disk</code>.
<p>Base fonts differ from fonts defined using the <a
href='#Font'><code>Font</code></a> directive in that they are not
automatically associated with all drivers - you must use the
special <code>Font *</code> directive to include them in a
driver.</p>
<p>Currently the <code>#font</code> directive is used mainly for
defining the standard raster fonts in the
<code><font.defs></code> include file.</p>

</pre>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
#if HAVE_FOO
...
#elif (HAVE_BAR >= 999)
...
#else
...
#endif
</pre>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>#if</code> directive allows portions of a driver information file
to be used conditionally. When followed by a name, the data that follows is
used only when the name is defined, otherwise the data is ignored.
<code>#if</code> directives can be nested up to 100 times.</p>

<pre>
#include <<i>filename</i>>
#include "<i>filename</i>"
</pre>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<pre>
#include <font.defs>
#include "myfile.h"
</pre>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>#include</code> directive reads the named driver
information file. If the filename is included inside angle
brackets (<code><filename></code>), then the PPD compiler will
look for the file in all of the include directories it knows
about. Otherwise, the file is opened in the current directory
relative to the current driver information file, and if that
fails then it looks in the include directories for the file.</p>
<p>The <code>#include</code> directive can be nested to as many
files as are allowed by the host operating system, typically at
least 100 files.</p>

#media Photo 4in 6in
</pre>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>#media</code> directive defines a named media size for
inclusion in a driver. The name with optional user text defines
the name for the media size and is used with the <a
href='#MediaSize'><code>MediaSize</code></a> directive to associate
the media size with the driver. The name may contain up to 40 ASCII
characters within the range of decimal 33 to decimal 126 inclusive,
except for the characters comma (44), slash (47) and colon (58).
The user text, if supplied, may not exceed 80 bytes in length.</p>
<p>The width and length define the dimensions of the media. Each
number is optionally followed by one of the following unit
suffixes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>cm</code> - centimeters</li>
<li><code>ft</code> - feet</li>
<li><code>in</code> - inches</li>
<li><code>m</code> - meters</li>

<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>ColorProfile</code> directive defines a CMY
transform-based color profile. The resolution and mediatype
arguments specify the <code>Resolution</code> and <code>MediaType</code>
choices which use the profile; the hyphen (<code>-</code>) is used to
specify that any resolution or mediatype can be used with the
profile.</p>
<p>The gamma argument specifies the gamma correction to apply to
the color values (P = p<sup>g</sup>) and is a real number
greater than 0. Values larger than 1 cause a general lightening
of the print while values smaller than 1 cause a general
darkening of the print. A value of 1 disables gamma
correction.</p>
<p>The density argument specifies the linear density correction
to apply to the color values (P = d * p<sup>g</sup>) and is a
real number greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1. A value
1 of disables density correction while lower values produce
proportionately lighter output.</p>
<p>The matrix argument specifies a 3x3 linear transformation
matrix in row-major order. The matrix is applied only to the CMY
component of a RGB to CMYK transformation and is not used when
printing in grayscale or CMYK mode unless the printer only
supports printing with 3 colors.</p>

<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>SimpleColorProfile</code> directive creates a

The resolution and mediatype arguments specify the
<code>Resolution</code> and <code>MediaType</code> choices which use the
profile; the hyphen (<code>-</code>) is used to specify that any
resolution or mediatype can be used with the profile.</p>
<p>The density argument specifies the linear density correction
to apply to the color values (P = d * 0.01 * p<sup>g</sup>) and
is an integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100. A
value 100 of disables density correction while lower values
produce proportionately lighter output. The density value
adjusts all color channels equally in all color modes.</p>
<p>The yellow-density argument specifies the density of the
yellow channel when printing in grayscale or RGB mode and is an
integer greater than 0 and less then or equal to 100. A value of
100 disables yellow density correction while lower values
produce proportionately lighter output.</p>
<P>The red-density argument specifies the two-color density
limit (e.g. C + M, C + Y, M + Y) when printing in grayscale or
RGB mode and is an integer greater than 0 and less then or equal
to 200. A value of 200 disables two-color density correction
while lower values produce proportionately lighter output.</p>
<p>The gamma argument specifies the gamma correction to apply to
the color values (P = p<sup>g</sup>) and is a real number
greater than 0. Values larger than 1 cause a general lightening
of the print while values smaller than 1 cause a general
darkening of the print. A value of 1 disables gamma
correction.</p>
<p>The red-adjust, green-adjust, blue-adjust arguments specify
the percentage of color to add or remove. Positive red-adjust
values add magenta and negative values add yellow. Positive
green-adjust values add cyan and negative values add yellow.
Positive blue-adjust values add cyan and negative values add
magenta. Values of 0 disable color adjustments.</p>

<h3>Description</h3>
<p>The <code>UIConstraints</code> directive adds a constraint
between two options. Constraints inform the application when a
user has chosen incompatible options. Each option name is
preceded by the asterisk (<code>*</code>). If no choice is given for
an option, then all choices <i>except</i> <code>False</code> and
<code>None</code> will conflict with the other option and choice(s).
Since the PPD compiler automatically adds reciprocal constraints
(option A conflicts with option B, so therefore option B
conflicts with option A), you need only specify the constraint
once.</p>
