FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)					   FOOMATIC-PPDFILE(1)

NAME
       foomatic-ppdfile - Generate a PPD file for a given printer/driver combo

SYNOPSIS
       foomatic-ppdfile [-w] [-d <driver>] -p <printerid>
       foomatic-ppdfile [-A] [-P pattern]
       foomatic-ppdfile -h


DESCRIPTION
       The first form of the foomatic-ppdfile to compute the  spooler-indepen-
       dent  Foomatic PPD file for any valid printer/driver combo available in
       the Foomatic database, both for printing with foomatic-rip(1)  and  for
       applications/clients  being  able to access the printer's options.  The
       PPD file is returned on standard ouput.	If the driver  is  not	speci-
       fied, the default driver is used.

       The second form of the foomatic-ppdfile program will search the printer
       database and return either all printer  entries	or  those  whose  name
       and/or model information match a regular expression.

       The last form prints a help message and exits.

   Options
       -d drivername
	    The (optional) driver name to use.	If the driver name is not sup-
	    plied, the default or first	 driver	 in  the  printers  compatible
	    driver list is used.

       -p   printer id The printer id.

       -w   Return  a  PPD  file that conforms to the Microsoft Windows format
	    limitations.

       -A   Return all printer entries in the database.

       -Ppattern
	    Return all printer entries in the database which match the regular
	    expression.

       SEE ALSO
