ppdtopod - convert a PPD file to an Impressario POD file.
SSSSYYYYNNNNOOOOPPPPSSSSIIIISSSS

_p_p_d_t_o_p_o_d parses a PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file and generates
an Impressario POD (Printer Object Database) file.
ppppppppddddttttooooppppoooodddd uses the files <lp_mode_filename>.config_template, .log_template
and .status_template files to generate the final Impressario
<lp_mode_filename>.config, .log and .status POD files.
If the <lp_mode_filename>.config_template file is not found
impressario_ppd_model.config_template is used as a default (same for the
.status and .log files).
The .config, .log and .status POD files are found in the
/usr/lib/print/data directory.
Once created, the output .config, .log and .status files will be device
specific since they contain information from a PPD file.
ppppppppddddttttooooppppoooodddd is normally invoked by /usr/lib/lputil when installing an
Impressario supported printer that uses the Impressario PPD driver. This
is done to convert a PPD to a specific POD file using the POD template
files. /usr/lib/lputil then installs the printer as an Impressario
driver using the generated POD files.
/usr/lib/lputil is not intended for general use. ppppppppddddttttooooppppoooodddd is not
intended for general use. To install an Impressario printer use the
Printer Manager tool or the mkcentpr(1M), mknetpr(1M), mkserialpr(1M) or
mkscsipr(1M) shell scripts.
_l_p__m_o_d_e__f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
This is the lp spooler model file name. lp model files are
found in /var/spool/lp/model. The full file path should NOT be
specified.
_P_P_D__f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
This is the full file path to the PPD file to parse.
