CUPS-GENPPDCONFIG(8)                       Gutenprint Manual Pages                      CUPS-GENPPDCONFIG(8)



NAME
       cups-genppdconfig - a user-friendly interface to generate Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS

SYNOPSIS
       cups-genppdconfig [-d ppd_directory]
       update-cups-genppd [-d pdd_directory]

DESCRIPTION
       cups-genppdconfig generates Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS.  The program allows the selection
       of the base directory to create the PPDs in, and the printers and  languages  desired.   The  default
       settings  are  taken from the contents of the base directory.  Note that unselecting an item will not
       remove it from the disk; you must remove unwanted printers and languages by deleting  the  files  and
       directories respectively.

       If  dialog  is  installed, it will be used to create the user interface, using colour, 3D-look dialog
       boxes etc.  If dialog cannot be found, perlmenu will be used instead  to  create  a  simpler,  though
       functionally identical, interface.

OPTIONS
       -d ppd-directory
              Use  ppd-directory as the base directory to create PPD files in.  The default printer and lan-guage language
              guage selections will also be obtained from this directory.  By default, the base directory is
              /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.
