说明
ppdc compiles CUPS printer driver source files (.drv) into PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files. PPD files describe a printer's capabilities including supported paper sizes, resolutions, color modes, and optional features, and are used by CUPS to generate appropriate print job data. The driver source format provides a compact way to define multiple printer models in a single file with shared options and model-specific overrides. The compiled PPD files can be placed in the CUPS model directory for automatic printer detection and setup.
参数
- -d _DIR_
- Output directory.
- -v
