33 \fIcupstestppd\fR tests the conformance of PPD files to the
34 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
35 version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
36 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
37 any other output are sent to the standard output.
39 The first form of \fIcupstestppd\fR tests one or more PPD files
40 on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
41 on the standard input.
43 \fIcupstestppd\fR supports the following options:
47 Specifies an alternate root directory for the filter, pre-filter,
48 and other support file checks.
52 Report all UIConstraint errors as warnings.
56 Except for size-related options, report all default option errors as warnings.
60 Report all filter errors as warnings.
64 Report all profile errors as warnings.
68 Report all media size errors as warnings.
72 Report all translation errors as warnings.

89 whitespace, control character, and formatting problems are not
90 treated as hard errors.
94 Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be
95 displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
99 Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be
100 displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
103 The \fI-q\fR, \fI-v\fR, and \fI-vv\fR options are mutually exclusive.

106 error codes are as follows:
110 Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
114 Unable to open or read PPD file.
118 The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
122 The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
124 The following command will test all PPD files under the current
125 directory and print the names of each file that does not
129 find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; -print
132 The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory
133 and print detailed conformance testing results for the files
