Does anyone know of a utility that can verify PPD files and explain any errors found inside
/usr/bin/cupstestppd is included since SuSE Linux 8.2
You also need the Adobe PPD specification because cupstestppd shows the section in this spec - see http://www.cups.org/idd.html#2_2 for an URL.
Also have a look at http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/jsmeix_print-info-for-manufacturers.ht... "PostScript Printers" ... The CUPS utility "cupstestppd" ...
Hooray! It tells me the line number of the error, and the place in the docs that explains that error. That's cool (now, if only the KDE utility would pass *that* info along rather than just a return code). :) Time to drop the people at Xerox a line noting that their ppd is broken. :( --Danny, happy
