NAMEppdcfile − cups ppd compiler source file format (deprecated)

---

DESCRIPTIONThe CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions of one or more PPD files to be generated by ppdc(1). This man page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS. The source file format is plain ASCII text that can be edited using your favorite text editor. Comments are supported using the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms. 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 PCFileName directive has been defined. Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by one or more values. The following is a list of the available directives and the values they accept: #define name value  #elif {name | value}  #else  #endif  #font name encoding "version" charset status  #if {name | value}  #include <filename>  #include "filename"  #media name width length  #media "name/text" width length  #po locale "filename"  Attribute name "" value  Attribute name keyword value  Attribute name "keyword/text" value  Choice name "code"  Choice "name/text" "code"  ColorDevice boolean-value  ColorModel name colorspace colororder compression  ColorModel "name/text" colorspace colororder compression  ColorProfile resolution/mediatype gamma density matrix  Copyright "text"  CustomMedia name width length left bottom right top "size-code" "region-code"  CustomMedia "name/text" width length left bottom right top "size-code" "region-code"  Cutter boolean-value  Darkness temperature name  Darkness temperature "name/text"  DriverType type  Duplex type  Filter mime-type cost program  Finishing name  Finishing "name/text"  Font *  Font name encoding "version" charset status  Group name  Group "name/text"  HWMargins left bottom right top  InputSlot position name  InputSlot position "name/text"  Installable name  Installable "name/text"  LocAttribute name "keyword/text" value  ManualCopies boolean-value  Manufacturer "name"  MaxSize width length  MediaSize name  MediaType type name  MediaType type "name/text"  MinSize width length  ModelName "name"  ModelNumber number  Option name type section order  Option "name/text" type section order  PCFileName "filename.ppd"  Resolution colorspace bits-per-color row-count row-feed row-step name  Resolution colorspace bits-per-color row-count row-feed row-step "name/text"  SimpleColorProfile resolution/mediatype density yellow-density red-density gamma red-adjust green-adjust blue-adjust  Throughput pages-per-minute  UIConstraints "*Option1 *Option2"  UIConstraints "*Option1 Choice1 *Option2"  UIConstraints "*Option1 *Option2 Choice2"  UIConstraints "*Option1 Choice1 *Option2 Choice2"  VariablePaperSize boolean-value  Version number
