.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBppdmerge\fR merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language
PPD file.
\fBThis program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.\fR
.SH OPTIONS
\fBppdmerge\fR supports the following options:
.TP
\fB\-o \fIoutput-ppd-file\fR
Specifies the PPD file to create.
If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to the standard output.
If the output file already exists, it is silently overwritten.
.SH NOTES
PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as
.BR ippeveprinter (1).
.LP
\fBppdmerge\fR does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.
Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
