`cupstestppd -q {{path/to/file1.ppd path/to/file2.ppd ...}}`
- Get the PPD file from `stdin` , showing detailed conformance testing results:
2025-12-16 10:20:31 -07:00
`cupstestppd < {{path/to/file.ppd}} -v -`
2025-03-14 21:59:59 -06:00

`find . -name \*.ppd \! -execdir cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -print`
