508 <h2 class='title'
><a name='OVERVIEW'
>Overview
</a></h2>
510 <blockquote>The PPD API is deprecated starting in CUPS
1.6/OS X
10.8. Please use the new Job Ticket APIs in the
<a href=
"api-cups.html">CUPS API
</a> documentation. These functions will be removed in a future release of CUPS.
</blockquote>
512 <p>The CUPS PPD API provides read-only access the data in PostScript Printer
513 Description (
"PPD") files which are used for all printers with a driver. With
514 it you can obtain the data necessary to display printer options to users, mark
515 option choices and check for conflicting choices, and output marked choices in
516 PostScript output. The
<a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a>
517 structure contains all of the information in a PPD file.
</p>
519 <blockquote><b>Note:
</b>
521 <p>The CUPS PPD API uses the terms
"option" and
"choice" instead of the Adobe
522 terms
"MainKeyword" and
"OptionKeyword" to refer to specific printer options and
523 features. CUPS also treats option (
"MainKeyword") and choice (
"OptionKeyword")
524 values as case-insensitive strings, so option
"InputSlot" and choice
"Upper"
525 are equivalent to
"inputslot" and
"upper", respectively.
</p>
528 <h3><a name=
"LOADING">Loading a PPD File
</a></h3>
530 <p>The
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile"><code>ppdOpenFile
</code></a> function
"opens" a
531 PPD file and loads it into memory. For example, the following code opens the
532 current printer's PPD file in a CUPS filter:
</p>
534 <pre class=
"example">
535 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
537 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd =
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile">ppdOpenFile
</a>(getenv(
"PPD"));
540 <p>The return value is a pointer to a new
541 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a> structure or
<code>NULL
</code>
542 if the PPD file does not exist or cannot be loaded. The
543 <a href=
"#ppdClose"><code>ppdClose
</code></a> function frees the memory used
544 by the structure:
</p>
546 <pre class=
"example">
547 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
549 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
551 <a href=
"#ppdClose">ppdClose
</a>(ppd);
554 <p>Once closed, pointers to the
<a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a>
555 structure and any data in it will no longer be valid.
</p>
557 <h3><a name=
"OPTIONS_AND_GROUPS">Options and Groups
</a></h3>
559 <p>PPD files support multiple options, which are stored in arrays of
560 <a href=
"#ppd_option_t"><code>ppd_option_t
</code></a> and
561 <a href=
"#ppd_choice_t"><code>ppd_choice_t
</code></a> structures.
</p>
563 <p>Each option in turn is associated with a group stored in a
564 <a href=
"#ppd_group_t"><code>ppd_group_t
</code></a> structure. Groups can be
565 specified in the PPD file; if an option is not associated with a group
566 then it is put in an automatically-generated
"General" group. Groups can also
567 have sub-groups, however CUPS currently ignores sub-groups because of past
568 abuses of this functionality.
</p>
570 <p>Option choices are selected by marking them using one of three functions. The
571 first is
<a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults"><code>ppdMarkDefaults
</code></a> which
572 selects all of the default options in the PPD file:
</p>
574 <pre class=
"example">
575 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
577 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
579 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults">ppdMarkDefaults
</a>(ppd);
582 <p>The second is
<a href=
"#ppdMarkOption"><code>ppdMarkOption
</code></a>
583 which selects a single option choice in the PPD file. For example, the following
584 code selects the upper paper tray:
</p>
586 <pre class=
"example">
587 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
589 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
591 <a href=
"#ppdMarkOption">ppdMarkOption
</a>(ppd,
"InputSlot",
"Upper");
594 <p>The last function is
595 <a href=
"#cupsMarkOptions"><code>cupsMarkOptions
</code></a> which selects
596 multiple option choices in the PPD file from an array of CUPS options, mapping
597 IPP attributes like
"media" and
"sides" to their corresponding PPD options. You
598 typically use this function in a print filter with
599 <code>cupsParseOptions
</code> and
600 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults"><code>ppdMarkDefaults
</code></a> to select all of
601 the option choices needed for the job, for example:
</p>
603 <pre class=
"example">
604 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
606 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd =
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile">ppdOpenFile
</a>(getenv(
"PPD"));
607 cups_option_t *options = NULL;
608 int num_options = cupsParseOptions(argv[
5],
0,
&options);
610 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults">ppdMarkDefaults
</a>(ppd);
611 <a href=
"#cupsMarkOptions">cupsMarkOptions
</a>(ppd, num_options, options);
612 cupsFreeOptions(num_options, options);
615 <h3><a name=
"CONSTRAINTS">Constraints
</a></h3>
617 <p>PPD files support specification of conflict conditions, called
618 constraints, between different options. Constraints are stored in an array of
619 <a href=
"#ppd_const_t"><code>ppd_const_t
</code></a> structures which specify
620 the options and choices that conflict with each other. The
621 <a href=
"#ppdConflicts"><code>ppdConflicts
</code></a> function tells you
622 how many of the selected options are incompatible. Since constraints are
623 normally specified in pairs, the returned value is typically an even number.
</p>
625 <h3><a name=
"PAGE_SIZES">Page Sizes
</a></h3>
627 <p>Page sizes are special options which have physical dimensions and margins
628 associated with them. The size information is stored in
629 <a href=
"#ppd_size_t"><code>ppd_size_t
</code></a> structures and is available
630 by looking up the named size with the
631 <a href=
"#ppdPageSize"><code>ppdPageSize
</code></a> function. The page size and
632 margins are returned in units called points; there are
72 points per inch. If
633 you pass
<code>NULL
</code> for the size, the currently selected size is
636 <pre class=
"example">
637 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
639 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
640 <a href=
"#ppd_size_t">ppd_size_t
</a> *size =
<a href=
"#ppdPageSize">ppdPageSize
</a>(ppd, NULL);
643 <p>Besides the standard page sizes listed in a PPD file, some printers
644 support variable or custom page sizes. Custom page sizes are supported if the
645 <code>variables_sizes
</code> member of the
646 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a> structure is non-zero.
647 The
<code>custom_min
</code>,
<code>custom_max

679 <h3><a name=
"ATTRIBUTES">Attributes
</a></h3>
681 <p>Every PPD file is composed of one or more attributes. Most of these
682 attributes are used to define groups, options, choices, and page sizes,
683 however several informational attributes may be present which you can access
684 in your program or filter. Attributes normally look like one of the following
685 examples in a PPD file:
</p>
687 <pre class=
"example">
690 *name spec/text:
"value"
693 <p>The
<a href=
"#ppdFindAttr"><code>ppdFindAttr
</code></a> and
694 <a href=
"#ppdFindNextAttr"><code>ppdFindNextAttr
</code></a> functions find the
695 first and next instances, respectively, of the named attribute with the given
696 "spec" string and return a
<a href=
"#ppd_attr_t"><code>ppd_attr_t
</code></a>
697 structure. If you provide a NULL specifier string, all attributes with the
698 given name will be returned. For example, the following code lists all of the
699 <code>Product
</code> attributes in a PPD file:

915 not yet been marked, while
"option
" and

916 selection which may or may not be in

918 On successful return,

920 specified in the PPD file and

922 If option conflicts cannot be resolved,
"num_options

923 changed and
0 is returned.
<br>
925 When resolving conflicts,
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code> does not consider
926 changes to the current page size (
<code>media
</code>,
<code>PageSize
</code>, and
927 <code>PageRegion
</code>) or to the most recent option specified in
"option
".
928 Thus, if the only way to resolve a conflict is to change the page size
929 or the option the user most recently changed,
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code>
930 will return
0 to indicate it was unable to resolve the conflicts.
<br>
932 The
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code> function uses one of two sources of option
933 constraint information. The preferred constraint information is defined by
934 <code>cupsUIConstraints
</code> and
<code>cupsUIResolver
</code> attributes - in this
935 case, the PPD file provides constraint resolution actions.
<br>
937 The backup constraint information is defined by the
938 <code>UIConstraints
</code> and
<code>NonUIConstraints
</code> attributes. These
939 constraints are resolved algorithmically by first selecting the default
940 choice for the conflicting option, then iterating over all possible choices
941 until a non-conflicting option choice is found.
