482 PPD API introduction for the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS).

494 <h2 class='title'
><a name='OVERVIEW'
>Overview
</a></h2>
496 <p>The CUPS PPD API provides read-only access the data in PostScript Printer
497 Description (
"PPD") files which are used for all printers with a driver. With
498 it you can obtain the data necessary to display printer options to users, mark
499 option choices and check for conflicting choices, and output marked choices in
500 PostScript output. The
<a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a>
501 structure contains all of the information in a PPD file.
</p>
503 <blockquote><b>Note:
</b>
505 <p>The CUPS PPD API uses the terms
"option" and
"choice" instead of the Adobe
506 terms
"MainKeyword" and
"OptionKeyword" to refer to specific printer options and
507 features. CUPS also treats option (
"MainKeyword") and choice (
"OptionKeyword")
508 values as case-insensitive strings, so option
"InputSlot" and choice
"Upper"
509 are equivalent to
"inputslot" and
"upper", respectively.
</p>
512 <h3><a name=
"LOADING">Loading a PPD File
</a></h3>
514 <p>The
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile"><code>ppdOpenFile
</code></a> function
"opens" a
515 PPD file and loads it into memory. For example, the following code opens the
516 current printer's PPD file in a CUPS filter:
</p>
518 <pre class=
"example">
519 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
521 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd =
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile">ppdOpenFile
</a>(getenv(
"PPD"));
524 <p>The return value is a pointer to a new
525 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a> structure or
<code>NULL
</code>
526 if the PPD file does not exist or cannot be loaded. The
527 <a href=
"#ppdClose"><code>ppdClose
</code></a> function frees the memory used
528 by the structure:
</p>
530 <pre class=
"example">
531 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
533 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
535 <a href=
"#ppdClose">ppdClose
</a>(ppd);
538 <p>Once closed, pointers to the
<a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t
</code></a>
539 structure and any data in it will no longer be valid.
</p>
541 <h3><a name=
"OPTIONS_AND_GROUPS">Options and Groups
</a></h3>
543 <p>PPD files support multiple options, which are stored in arrays of
544 <a href=
"#ppd_option_t"><code>ppd_option_t
</code></a> and
545 <a href=
"#ppd_choice_t"><code>ppd_choice_t
</code></a> structures.
</p>
547 <p>Each option in turn is associated with a group stored in a
548 <a href=
"#ppd_group_t"><code>ppd_group_t
</code></a> structure. Groups can be
549 specified in the PPD file; if an option is not associated with a group
550 then it is put in an automatically-generated
"General" group. Groups can also
551 have sub-groups, however CUPS currently ignores sub-groups because of past
552 abuses of this functionality.
</p>
554 <p>Option choices are selected by marking them using one of three functions. The
555 first is
<a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults"><code>ppdMarkDefaults
</code></a> which
556 selects all of the default options in the PPD file:
</p>
558 <pre class=
"example">
559 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
561 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
563 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults">ppdMarkDefaults
</a>(ppd);
566 <p>The second is
<a href=
"#ppdMarkOption"><code>ppdMarkOption
</code></a>
567 which selects a single option choice in the PPD file. For example, the following
568 code selects the upper paper tray:
</p>
570 <pre class=
"example">
571 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
573 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
575 <a href=
"#ppdMarkOption">ppdMarkOption
</a>(ppd,
"InputSlot",
"Upper");
578 <p>The last function is
579 <a href=
"#cupsMarkOptions"><code>cupsMarkOptions
</code></a> which selects
580 multiple option choices in the PPD file from an array of CUPS options, mapping
581 IPP attributes like
"media" and
"sides" to their corresponding PPD options. You
582 typically use this function in a print filter with
583 <code>cupsParseOptions
</code> and
584 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults"><code>ppdMarkDefaults
</code></a> to select all of
585 the option choices needed for the job, for example:
</p>
587 <pre class=
"example">
588 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
590 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd =
<a href=
"#ppdOpenFile">ppdOpenFile
</a>(getenv(
"PPD"));
591 cups_option_t *options = NULL;
592 int num_options = cupsParseOptions(argv[
5],
0,
&options);
594 <a href=
"#ppdMarkDefaults">ppdMarkDefaults
</a>(ppd);
595 <a href=
"#cupsMarkOptions">cupsMarkOptions
</a>(ppd, num_options, options);
596 cupsFreeOptions(num_options, options);
599 <h3><a name=
"CONSTRAINTS">Constraints
</a></h3>
601 <p>PPD files support specification of conflict conditions, called
602 constraints, between different options. Constraints are stored in an array of
603 <a href=
"#ppd_const_t"><code>ppd_const_t
</code></a> structures which specify
604 the options and choices that conflict with each other. The
605 <a href=
"#ppdConflicts"><code>ppdConflicts
</code></a> function tells you
606 how many of the selected options are incompatible. Since constraints are
607 normally specified in pairs, the returned value is typically an even number.
</p>
609 <h3><a name=
"PAGE_SIZES">Page Sizes
</a></h3>
611 <p>Page sizes are special options which have physical dimensions and margins
612 associated with them. The size information is stored in
613 <a href=
"#ppd_size_t"><code>ppd_size_t
</code></a> structures and is available
614 by looking up the named size with the
615 <a href=
"#ppdPageSize"><code>ppdPageSize
</code></a> function. The page size and
616 margins are returned in units called points; there are
72 points per inch. If
617 you pass
<code>NULL
</code> for the size, the currently selected size is
620 <pre class=
"example">
621 #include
<cups/ppd.h
>
623 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t">ppd_file_t
</a> *ppd;
624 <a href=
"#ppd_size_t">ppd_size_t
</a> *size =
<a href=
"#ppdPageSize">ppdPageSize
</a>(ppd, NULL);
627 <p>Besides the standard page sizes listed in a PPD file, some printers
628 support variable or custom page sizes. Custom page sizes are supported if the
629 <code>variables_sizes
</code> member of the
630 <a href=
"#ppd_file_t"><code>ppd_file_t

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

779 <p class=

780 a list of option changes that are required to resolve them. On input,
781 "num_options
" and
"options
" contain any pending option changes that have
782 not yet been marked, while
"option
" and
"choice
" contain the most recent
783 selection which may or may not be in
"num_options
" or

<br>
785 On successful return,
"num_options
" and
"options
" are updated to contain
786 "option
" and
"choice
" along with any changes required to resolve conflicts
787 specified in the PPD file and
1 is returned.
<br>
789 If option conflicts cannot be resolved,
"num_options
" and
"options
" are not
790 changed and
0 is returned.
<br>
792 When resolving conflicts,
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code> does not consider
793 changes to the current page size (
<code>media
</code>,
<code>PageSize
</code>, and
794 <code>PageRegion
</code>) or to the most recent option specified in
"option
".
795 Thus, if the only way to resolve a conflict is to change the page size
796 or the option the user most recently changed,
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code>
797 will return
0 to indicate it was unable to resolve the conflicts.
<br>
799 The
<code>cupsResolveConflicts
</code> function uses one of two sources of option
800 constraint information. The preferred constraint information is defined by
801 <code>cupsUIConstraints
</code> and
<code>cupsUIResolver
</code> attributes - in this
802 case, the PPD file provides constraint resolution actions.
<br>
804 The backup constraint information is defined by the
805 <code>UIConstraints
</code> and
<code>NonUIConstraints
</code> attributes. These
806 constraints are resolved algorithmically by first selecting the default
807 choice for the conflicting option, then iterating over all possible choices
808 until a non-conflicting option choice is found.
