## SYNOPSIS

           cupstestppd [ -v ] filename.ppd [ ... filenameN.ppd ]
           cupstestppd [ -v ] -

## DESCRIPTION

           cupstestppd  tests  the  conformance  of  PPD files to the
           Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format  specifi
           cation  version  4.3. It can also be used to list the sup
           ported options and available fonts  in  a  PPD  file.  The
           results  of  testing  and any other output are sent to the
           standard output.

           The first form of cupstestppd lists one or more PPD  files
           on  the  command-line.  The second form lists the PPD file
           provided on the standard input. The  second  form  can  be
           used  to  test  compressed PPD files using the appropriate
           utility.

           The -v option specifies that all information  in  the  PPD
           file  should  be  displayed in addition to the conformance
           testing results.
