You may +restrict the models by listing either the driver names or the full names +of the printers you wish to generate PPD files for after any options. +Additionally, the PPD files may be \fIlocalised\fR, that is, +translated, to use your native language rather than US English. There +are commands to find out what printer models and languages are +supported. +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +.B cups\-genppd \-v bjc\-6200 'EPSON Stylus Photo 1280' 'HP DeskJet 850C' +verbosely generate three PPD files, listing the driver name in the +first case, and the full name in the second. +.TP +.B LANG=de_DE genppd \-p ppd \-c /usr/share/locale +generate PPDs for all available models, in directory \fIppd\fR using +the locale data found under \fI/usr/share/locale\fR. The language to +use is taken from the environment (de_DE). +.TP +.B cups\-genppd \-L \-c /usr/local/share/locale +list available languages using the locale data found under +\fI/usr/local/share/locale\fR. +.TP +.B cups\-genppd \-M \-v +list available drivers, with long model descriptions +.SH COMMANDS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR +show a help message +.TP +\fB\-L\fR +list available translations (message catalogs). If a locale is used +for which there is not a corresponding translation, then then US +English will be used. +.TP +\fB\-M\fR +list available printer models. By default, only driver names are +listed; if verbose mode is used, the full model name will also be +printed +.TP +\fB\-V\fR +show version information and defaults +.IP +The default behavior is to output PPDs if no command is given. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-c\fR \fIlocaledir\fR +use \fIlocaledir\fR as the base directory for locale data +.TP +\fB\-l\fR \fIlocale\fR +output PPDs translated with messages for \fIlocale\fR. Note that \fIlocale\fR +\fBmust\fR be a locale as shown by \fIlocale \-a\fR. For example, the \fIde\fR +translation is used by the \fIde_DE\fR locale; \fIde\fR alone will not work. +.TP +\fB\-p\fR \fIprefix\fR +output PPDs in directory \fIprefix\fR.
