  29 <i>cupstestppd</i> tests the conformance of PPD files to the
  30 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
  31 version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
  32 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
  33 any other output are sent to the standard output.
  34 <p>The first form of <i>cupstestppd</i> tests one or more PPD files
  35 on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
  36 on the standard input.
