  • Test the conformance of one or more files in quiet mode:
    cupstestppd -q path/to/file1.ppd path/to/file2.ppd ...
  • Get the PPD file from `stdin`, showing detailed conformance testing results:
    cupstestppd -v - < path/to/file.ppd
  • Test all PPD files under the current directory, printing the names of each file that does not conform:
    find . -name \*.ppd \! -execdir cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -print
