# ppdmerge(1)

## Name

ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

## Synopsis

ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ... ppd-file ]

## Description

ppdmerge merges two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language PPD file. This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.

## Options

ppdmerge supports the following options:

-o output-ppd-file
  Specifies the PPD file to create. If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to the standard output. If the output file already exists, it is silently overwritten.

## Notes

ppdmerge does not check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device. Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable results.
