+The following \fBlpadmin\fR options are deprecated:
+.TP 5
+\fB\-i \fIfilename\fR
+This option historically has been used to provide either a System V interface script or (as an implementation side-effect) a PPD file.
+Since interface scripts are no longer supported, the \fI-P\fR option is preferred for providing a PPD file for a printer.
.SH CONFORMING TO
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive.
This differs from the System V version which requires the root user to execute this command.
.SH NOTES
The CUPS version of \fBlpadmin\fR does not support all of the System V or Solaris printing system configuration options.
+Interface scripts are not supported for security reasons.
.SH EXAMPLE
Create an IPP Everywhere print queue:
