ppdhtml(1)                     OpenPrinting                    ppdhtml(1)

NAME         top

       ppdhtml - cups html summary generator (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS         top

       ppdhtml [ -D name[=value] ] [ -I include-directory ] source-file

DESCRIPTION         top

       ppdhtml reads a driver information file and produces a HTML
       summary page that lists all of the drivers in a file and the
       supported options.  This program is deprecated and will be removed
       in a future release of CUPS.

OPTIONS         top

       ppdhtml supports the following options:

       -D name[=value]
            Sets the named variable for use in the source file.  It is
            equivalent to using the #define directive in the source file.

       -I include-directory
            Specifies an alternate include directory.  Multiple -I
            options can be supplied to add additional directories.

NOTES         top

       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 ippeveprinter(1).
