+.TH CUPS\-GENPPDUPDATE "8" "@RELEASE_DATE@" "Version @GUTENPRINT_VERSION@" "Gutenprint Manual Pages"
+.SH NAME
+cups\-genppdupdate \- update CUPS+Gutenprint PPD files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cups\-genppdupdate
+[\fI\-h\fP]
+[\fI\-n\fP]
+[\fI\-q\fP | \fI\-v\fP]
+[\fI\-s ppd-directory\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcups\-genppdupdate\fP regenerates the \fIGutenprint\fP PPD files in use by
+CUPS, using the PPD files under \fI@cups_conf_datadir@/model/gutenprint\fP as
+templates. The new PPD file replaces the old PPD file under
+\fI@cups_conf_serverroot@/ppd\fP, but all the options set in the old PPD will
+be merged into the new PPD, provided that they are still valid in the new file.
+.PP
+cups\-genppdupdate does \fBnot\fP restart cupsd. cupsd will need manually
+reloading (or send SIGHUP) once cups\-genppdupdate has completed.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Show a help message.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+No action. The program will run, but the old PPD files will not be replaced.
+.TP
+.B \-q
+Quiet mode. No messages will be issued, apart from errors.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Verbose mode. More informative messages will be issued. Note that extremely
+verbose output may be turned on by setting $debug=1 in the source, but this
+output will not be of use to the average user.
+.TP
+.B \-s \fIppd-directory\fP
+Use \fIppd-directory\fP as the base directory to read PPD files from. By
+default, the base directory is \fP@cups_conf_datadir@/model/gutenprint\fP.
+Under this directory, the PPD files are located in subdirectories according to
+language code and territory.
