drv1

Cups driver interface for ppd compiler files

Usage

drv list

drv cat drv:///filename.drv/pcfilename

Overview

drv lists and compiles PPDC source files installed in the /usr/share/cups/drv and (on Mac OS X) /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources directories on behalf of the scheduler, cupsd(8).

The first form of the command lists all of the PPD files that can be produced by the driver information files in the two directories.

The second form of the command compiles the requested PPD and sends it to the standard output.
