  32 .SH DESCRIPTION
  33 \fIcupstestppd\fR tests the conformance of PPD files to the
  34 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification

  36 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
  37 any other output are sent to the standard output.

  91 displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
  92 .TP 5

  96 displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
