NAME
foomatic-compiledb - Compile the Foomatic printer/driver database
SYNOPSIS
I foomatic-compiledb [ -t type ] [ -f ] [ -j n ] [ driver ... ]
DESCRIPTION
foomatic-compiledb
generates all PPD files or Foomatic combo XML files for all possible
printer/driver combos, or only for a selected range of drivers. It
generally should not be necessary except for people who want to
generate a set of Foomatic data files for distribution. For
configuring single printers
foomatic-ppdfile(1) and especially
foomatic-configure(1) will automagically compute just what they
need.
Options
I -t type
Output file type, either ppd or xml.
I -f
Force: Write into the destination directory even if it already exists.
I -j n
n = number of work processes to run
driver ...
only generate data files for these driver(s)
SEE ALSO
R foomatic-ppdfile (1), foomatic-configure (1)
EXIT STATUS
foomatic-compiledb
returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.
AUTHORS
Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> and Till Kamppeter
<till.kamppeter@gmx.net> for the foomatic
project using output from the associated binary.
BUGS
Existing files are always conserved instead of older files being
overwritten. So deleting the destination directory (rm -rf dir) and
calling foomatic-compiledb without the -f option is recommended.
