cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD files to the
Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
any other output are sent to the standard output.
The first form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files
on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
on the standard input.
OPTIONS
cupstestppd supports the following options:
-R rootdir
Specifies an alternate root directory for the filter, pre-filter,
and other support file checks.
-W constraints
Report all UIConstraint errors as warnings.
-W defaults
Except for size-related options, report all default option errors as warnings.
-W filters
Report all filter errors as warnings.
-W translations
Report all translation errors as warnings.
-W all
Report all of the previous errors as warnings.
-W none
Report all of the previous errors as errors.
-q
Specifies that no information should be displayed.
-r
Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so that common
whitespace, control character, and formatting problems are not
treated as hard errors.
-v
Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be
displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
-vv
Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be
displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
results.
The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.

cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The
error codes are as follows:
1
Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
2
Unable to open or read PPD file.
3
The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
4
The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
