常用示例
Merge PPD files
ppdmerge -o [output.ppd] [file1.ppd] [file2.ppd]
Merge multiple language versions
ppdmerge -o [combined.ppd] [en.ppd] [de.ppd] [fr.ppd]
说明
ppdmerge merges multiple PPD (PostScript Printer Description) files into a single multi-language PPD file. This is primarily used to combine localized versions of a printer driver so that a single PPD file supports multiple languages, with CUPS selecting the appropriate translation based on the user's locale. The input files should be variants of the same printer definition differing only in their translated strings. The merged output contains all language variants, reducing the number of PPD files that need to be distributed and installed. ppdmerge does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device; merging different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
参数
- -o _FILE_
- Output file name. If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to standard output.
