常用示例
Import PPD files
ppdi [file.ppd]
Import to specific directory
ppdi -d [output_dir] [file.ppd]
Import multiple files
ppdi [file1.ppd] [file2.ppd]
说明
ppdi imports existing PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files into the CUPS driver source format (.drv). This is the reverse operation of ppdc, allowing administrators to convert standalone PPD files into the compact driver source format for easier maintenance and distribution. The imported driver source files can then be edited to add new printer models or modify options, and recompiled with ppdc. This workflow simplifies managing large collections of printer definitions by consolidating them into shared driver source files.
参数
- -d _DIR_
- Output directory.
- -o _FILE_
- Output file name.
