.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.
