A CUPS PostScript Printer Driver's compressor and generator
Project description
pyppd
=====
``pyppd`` is a CUPS PPD generator. It holds an compressed archive of PPDs, which
can be listed and retrieved only when needed by CUPS, saving disk space.
Instalation
-----------
To install ``pyppd``, run as root:
# python setup.py install
It depends on Python 2.x (http://www.python.org) and XZ Utils
(http://tukaani.org/xz/).
Usage
-----
At first, you have to create a PPD archive. For such, put all PPDs you want to
add in the archive inside a single folder (which can have subfolders), then run:
$ pyppd /path/to/your/ppd/folder
It'll create ``pyppd-ppdfile`` in your current folder. You can test it by
running:
$ ./pyppd-ppdfile list
And, for reading a PPD from the archive, simply do:
$ ./pyppd-ppdfile cat pyppd-ppdfile:MY-PPD-FILE.PPD
For CUPS to be able to use your newly-created archive, copy ``pyppd-ppdfile``
to ``/usr/lib/cups/driver/`` and you're done.
