SYNOPSIS

       cupstestppd [ -v ] filename.ppd [ ... filenameN.ppd ]
       cupstestppd [ -v ] -


DESCRIPTION

       cupstestppd  tests  the  conformance  of  PPD files to the
       Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format  specifi­
       cation  version  4.3. It can also be used to list the sup­
       ported options and available fonts  in  a  PPD  file.  The
       results  of  testing  and any other output are sent to the
       standard output.

       The first form of cupstestppd lists one or more PPD  files
       on  the  command-line.  The second form lists the PPD file
       provided on the standard input. The  second  form  can  be
       used  to  test  compressed PPD files using the appropriate
       utility.

       The -v option specifies that all information  in  the  PPD
       file  should  be  displayed in addition to the conformance
       testing results.
