<h2 class='title'><a name='SYNTAX'>PPD File Syntax</a></h2>

<p>The PPD format is text-based and uses lines of up to 255 characters terminated by a carriage return, linefeed, or combination of carriage return and line feed. The following ABNF definition [<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234" target="_blank">RFC5234</a>] defines the general format of lines in a PPD file:</p>

<pre class='command'>
PPD-FILE = HEADER +(DATA / COMMENT / LINE-END)

HEADER   = "*PPD-Adobe:" *WSP DQUOTE VERSION DQUOTE LINE-END

VERSION  = "4.0" / "4.1" / "4.2" / "4.3"

COMMENT  = "*%" *TCHAR LINE-END

DATA     = "*" 1*KCHAR [ WSP 1*KCHAR [ "/" 1*TCHAR ] ] ":"
           1*(*WSP VALUE) LINE-END

VALUE    = 1*TCHAR / DQUOTE 1*SCHAR DQUOTE

KCHAR    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "_" / "." / "-"

SCHAR    = LINE-END / WSP / %x21.23-7E.A0-FF

TCHAR    = %x20-7E.A0-FF

LINE-END = CR / LF / CR LF
</pre>


<h2 class='title'><a name='AUTOCONFIG'>Auto-Configuration</a></h2>

<p>CUPS supports several methods of auto-configuration via PPD keywords.</p>

<h3><span class='info'>OS X 10.5</span><a name='APAutoSetupTool'>APAutoSetupTool</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*APAutoSetupTool: "/LibraryPrinters/vendor/filename"</p>

<p>This OS X keyword defines a program that sets the default option choices. It is run when a printer is added from the <var>Add Printer</var> window or the <var>Nearby Printers</var> list in the <var>Print</var> dialog.</p>

<p>The program is provided with two arguments: the printer's device URI and the PPD file to be used for the printer. The program must write an updated PPD file to stdout.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Use our setup tool when adding a printer
*APAutoSetupTool: "/Library/Printers/vendor/Tools/autosetuptool"
</pre>

<h3><span class='info'>OS X 10.2/CUPS 1.4</span><a name='QUERYKEYWORD'>?MainKeyword</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*?<i>MainKeyword</i>: "<br>
  PostScript query code that writes a message using the = operator...<br>
"<br>
*End</p>

<p>The <tt>?<i>MainKeyword</i></tt> keyword defines PostScript code that determines the currently selected/enabled option keyword (choice) for the main keyword (option). It is typically used when communicating with USB, serial, Appletalk, and AppSocket (port 9100) printers.</p>

<p>The PostScript code typically sends its response back using the <tt>=</tt> operator.</p>

<p>Example:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*OpenUI OptionDuplex/Duplexer Installed: Boolean
*DuplexOptionDuplex: False
*OptionDuplex False/Not Installed: ""
*OptionDuplex True/Installed: ""

<em>*% Query the printer for the presence of the duplexer option...</em>
*?OptionDuplex: "
  currentpagedevice /Duplex known
  {(True)} {(False)} ifelse
  = flush
"
*End
*CloseUI: OptionDuplex
</pre>

<h3><span class='info'>OS X 10.4/CUPS 1.5</span><a name='OID'>OIDMainKeyword</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*?OID<i>MainKeyword</i>: ".n.n.n..."<br>
*OID<i>MainKeyword</i> <i>OptionKeyword1</i>: "value"<br>
...<br>
*OID<i>MainKeyword</i> <i>OptionKeywordN</i>: "value"</p>

<p>The <tt>OID<i>MainKeyword</i></tt> keyword is used to define SNMP OIDs that map to installable options. The first (query) line defines the OID to lookup on the network device. The second and subsequent keywords define a mapping from OID value to option keyword. Since SNMP is an IP-based network protocol, this method is typically only used to configure AppSocket, IPP, and LPD network printers.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Get the installed memory on the printer...
*?OIDInstalledMemory: ".1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0"
*OIDInstalledMemory 16MB: "16384 KBytes"
*OIDInstalledMemory 32MB: "32768 KBytes"
*OIDInstalledMemory 48MB: "49152 KBytes"
*OIDInstalledMemory 72MB: "73728 KBytes"
</pre>


<h2 class='title'><a name='PROFILES'>Color Profiles</a></h2>

<p>CUPS supports three types of color profiles. The first type is based on sRGB and is used by the standard CUPS raster filters and GPL Ghostscript. The second type is based on ICC profiles and is used by the Quartz-based filters on MacOS X. The final type is based on well-known colorspaces such as sRGB and Adobe RGB.</p>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>At this time, none of the CUPS raster filters support ICC profiles. This will be addressed as time and resources permit.</p>

</blockquote>

<h3><span class='info'>Deprecated</span><a name='cupsColorProfile'>cupsColorProfile</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsColorProfile Resolution/MediaType: "density gamma m00 m01 m02 m10 m11 m12 m20 m21 m22"</p>

<p>This string keyword specifies an sRGB-based color profile consisting of gamma and density controls and a 3x3 CMY color transform matrix. <em>This keyword is not supported on OS X.</em></p>

<p>The <i>Resolution</i> and <i>MediaType</i> values may be "-" to act as a wildcard. Otherwise they must match one of the <tt>Resolution</tt> or <tt>MediaType</tt> option keywords defined in the PPD file.</p>

<p>The <i>density</i> and <i>gamma</i> values define gamma and
density adjustment function such that:</p>

<pre class='command'>
f(x) = density * x <sup style='font-size: 100%'>gamma</sup>
</pre>

<p>The <i>m00</i> through <i>m22</i> values define a 3x3 transformation matrix for the CMY color values. The density function is applied <i>after</i> the CMY transformation:</p>

<pre class='command'>
| m00 m01 m02 |
| m10 m11 m12 |
| m20 m21 m22 |
</pre>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Specify a profile for printing at 360dpi on all media types</em>
*cupsColorProfile 360dpi/-: "1.0 1.5 1.0 0.0 -0.2 -0.4 1.0 0.0 -0.2 0.0 1.0"

<em>*% Specify a profile for printing at 720dpi on Glossy media</em>
*cupsColorProfile 720dpi/Glossy: "1.0 2.5 1.0 0.0 -0.2 -0.4 1.0 0.0 -0.2 0.0 1.0"

<em>*% Specify a default profile for printing at all other resolutions and media types</em>
*cupsColorProfile -/-: "0.9 2.0 1.0 0.0 -0.2 -0.4 1.0 0.0 -0.2 0.0 1.0"
</pre>


<h3><span class='info'>OS X 10.3/CUPS 1.2</span><a name='cupsICCProfile'>cupsICCProfile</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsICCProfile ColorModel.MediaType.Resolution/Description: "filename"</p>

<p>This keyword specifies an ICC color profile that is used to convert the document colors to the device colorspace. The <tt>ColorModel</tt>, <tt>MediaType</tt>, and <tt>Resolution</tt> option keywords specify a selector for color profiles. If omitted, the color profile will match any option keyword for the corresponding main keyword.</p>

<p>The <tt>Description</tt> specifies human-readable text that is associated with the color profile. The <tt>filename</tt> portion specifies the ICC color profile to use; if the filename is not absolute, it is loaded relative to the <var>/usr/share/cups/profiles</var> directory.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Specify a profile for CMYK printing at 360dpi on all media types</em>
*cupsICCProfile CMYK..360dpi/360dpi CMYK: "/Library/Printers/vendor/Profiles/foo-360-cmyk.icc"

<em>*% Specify a profile for RGB printing at 720dpi on Glossy media</em>
*cupsColorProfile RGB.Glossy.720dpi/720dpi Glossy: "/Library/Printers/vendor/Profiles/foo-720-glossy-rgb.icc"

<em>*% Specify a default profile for printing at all other resolutions and media types</em>
*cupsICCProfile ../Default: "/Library/Printers/vendor/Profiles/foo-default.icc"
</pre>

<h4>Customizing the Profile Selection Keywords</h4>

<p>The <tt>ColorModel</tt>, <tt>MediaType</tt>, and <tt>Resolution</tt> main keywords can be reassigned to different main keywords, allowing drivers to do color profile selection based on different parameters. The <tt>cupsICCQualifier1</tt>, <tt>cupsICCQualifier2</tt>, and <tt>cupsICCQualifier3</tt> keywords define the mapping from selector to main keyword:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*cupsICCQualifier1: MainKeyword1
*cupsICCQualifier2: MainKeyword2
*cupsICCQualifier3: MainKeyword3
</pre>

<p>The default mapping is as follows:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*cupsICCQualifier1: ColorModel
*cupsICCQualifier2: MediaType
*cupsICCQualifier3: Resolution
</pre>

<h3><span class='info'>OS X 10.4</span><a name='APCustom'>Custom Color Matching Support</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*<a href='#APSupportsCustomColorMatching'>APSupportsCustomColorMatching</a>: true<br>
*<a href='#APCustomColorMatchingName'>APCustomColorMatchingName</a> name/text: ""<br>
*<a href='#APCustomColorMatchingProfile'>APCustomColorMatchingProfile</a>: profile<br>
*<a href='#APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile'>APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile</a>: profile</p>

<p>These keywords tell the OS X raster filters that the printer driver provides its own custom color matching and that generic color profiles should be used when generating 1-, 3-, and 4-component raster data as requested by the driver. The <tt>APCustomColorMatchingProfile</tt> and <tt>APDefaultColorMatchingProfile</tt> keywords specify alternate color profiles (sRGB or AdobeRGB) to use for 3-color (RGB) raster data.</p>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>Prior to OS X 10.6, the default RGB color space was Apple's "GenericRGB". The new default in OS X 10.6 and later is "sRGB". For more information, see <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3712">"OS X v10.6: About gamma 2.2"</a> on Apple's support site.</p>

</blockquote>

<h4><span class='info'>OS X 10.5</span><a name='APCustomColorMatchingName'>APCustomColorMatchingName</a></h4>

<p class='summary'>*APCustomColorMatchingName name/text: ""</p>

<p>This keyword defines an alternate name for the color matching provided by a driver in the <var>Color Matching</var> print panel. The default is to use the name "Vendor Matching" or its localized equivalent.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Define the names for our color matching...
*APCustomColorMatchingName name/AcmeColor(tm): ""
*fr.APCustomColorMatchingName name/La AcmeColor(tm): ""
</pre>

<h4><span class='info'>OS X 10.5</span><a name='APCustomColorMatchingProfile'>APCustomColorMatchingProfile</a></h4>

<p class='summary'>*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: name</p>

<p>This keyword defines a supported RGB color profile that can be used when doing custom color matching. Currently only <tt>sRGB</tt>, <tt>AdobeRGB</tt>, and <tt>GenericRGB</tt> are supported. If not specified, RGB data will use the GenericRGB colorspace.</p>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>If you provide multiple <tt>APCustomColorMatchingProfile</tt> keywords, you are responsible for providing the necessary user interface controls to select the profile in a <a href='#APDialogExtension'>print dialog pane</a>. Add the named profile to the print settings using the key <tt>kPMCustomColorMatchingProfileKey</tt>.</p>

</blockquote>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Use sRGB for RGB color by default, but support both sRGB and AdobeRGB
*APSupportsCustomColorMatching: true
*APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB
*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB
*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: AdobeRGB
</pre>

<p>This keyword defines the default RGB color profile that will be used when doing custom color matching. Currently only <tt>sRGB</tt>, <tt>AdobeRGB</tt>, and <tt>GenericRGB</tt> are supported.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Use sRGB for RGB color by default
*APSupportsCustomColorMatching: true
*APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB
</pre>

<h4><span class='info'>OS X 10.4</span><a name='APSupportsCustomColorMatching'>APSupportsCustomColorMatching</a></h4>

<p class='summary'>*APSupportsCustomColorMatching: boolean</p>

<p>This keyword specifies that the driver provides its own custom color matching. When <tt>true</tt>, the default hand-off colorspace will be GenericGray, GenericRGB, or GenericCMYK depending on the number of components the driver requests. The <a href='#APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile'><tt>APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile</tt></a> keyword can be used to override the default 3-component (RGB) colorspace.</p>

<p>The default for <tt>APSupportsCustomColorMatching</tt> is <tt>false</tt>.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*APSupportsCustomColorMatching: true
*APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB
</pre>


<h2 class='title'><a name='CONSTRAINTS'>Constraints</a></h2>

<p>Constraints are option choices that are not allowed by the driver or device, for example printing 2-sided transparencies. All versions of CUPS support constraints defined by the legacy Adobe <tt>UIConstraints</tt> and <tt>NonUIConstraints</tt> keywords which support conflicts between any two option choices, for example:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*% Do not allow 2-sided printing on transparency media
*UIConstraints: "*Duplex *MediaType Transparency"
*UIConstraints: "*MediaType Transparency *Duplex"
</pre>

<p>While nearly all constraints can be expressed using these keywords, there are valid scenarios requiring constraints between more than two option choices. In addition, resolution of constraints is problematic since users and software have to guess how a particular constraint is best resolved.</p>

<p>CUPS 1.4 and higher define two new keywords for constraints, <tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt> and <tt>cupsUIResolver</tt>. Each <tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt> keyword points to a <tt>cupsUIResolver</tt> keyword which specifies alternate options that resolve the conflict condition. The same <tt>cupsUIResolver</tt> can be used by multiple <tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt>.</p>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>When developing PPD files that contain constraints, it is very important to use the <a href="man-cupstestppd.html">cupstestppd(1)</a> program to verify that your constraints are accurate and cannot result in unresolvable option selections.</p>

</blockquote>

<h3><span class='info'>CUPS 1.4/OS X 10.6</span><a name='cupsUIConstraints'>cupsUIConstraints</a></h3>

*cupsUIConstraints: "*InstallableKeyword1 OptionKeyword1 *Keyword2 OptionKeyword2 ..."</p>

<p>Lists two or more options which conflict. The "resolver" string is a (possibly unique) keyword which specifies which options to change when the constraint exists. When no resolver is provided, CUPS first tries the default choice followed by testing each option choice to resolve the conflict.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Specify that 2-sided printing cannot happen on transparencies</em>
*cupsUIConstraints transparency: "*Duplex *MediaType Transparency"

<em>*% Specify that envelope printing cannot happen from the paper trays</em>

<h3><span class='info'>CUPS 1.4/OS X 10.6</span><a name='cupsUIResolver'>cupsUIResolver</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsUIResolver resolver: "*Keyword1 OptionKeyword1 *Keyword2 OptionKeyword2 ..."</p>

<p>Specifies two or more options to mark/select to resolve a constraint. The "resolver" string identifies a particular action to take for one or more <a href='#cupsUIConstraints'><tt>cupsUIConstraints</tt></a>. The same action can be used for multiple constraints. The option keyword pairs are treated as an ordered list of option selections to try - only the first N selections will be used, where N is the minimum number of selections required. Because <a href="api-ppd.html#cupsResolveConflicts"><code>cupsResolveConflicts()</code></a> will not change the most recent option selection passed to it, at least two options from the constraints must be listed to avoid situations where conflicts cannot be resolved.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Specify the options to change for the 2-sided transparency constraint</em>
*cupsUIResolver transparency: "*Duplex None *MediaType Plain"

<em>*% Specify the options to change for the envelope printing constraints.  Notice

<h2 class='title'><a name='I18N'>Globalized PPD Support</a></h2>

<p>CUPS 1.2 and higher adds support for PPD files containing multiple languages by following the following additional rules:</p>

<ol>

	<li>The <tt>LanguageVersion</tt> MUST be <tt>English</tt></li>

	<li>The <tt>LanguageEncoding</tt> MUST be <tt>ISOLatin1</tt></li>

	<li>The <tt>cupsLanguages</tt> keyword MUST be provided and list each of the supported locales in the PPD file</li>

	<li>Main and option keywords MUST NOT exceed 34 (instead of 40) characters to allow room for the locale prefixes in translation keywords</li>

	<li>The main keyword "Translation" MUST NOT be used</li>

	<li>Translation strings included with the main and option keywords MUST NOT contain characters outside the ASCII subset of ISOLatin1 and UTF-8; developers wishing to use characters outside ASCII MUST provide a separate set of English localization keywords for the affected keywords.</li>

	<li>Localizations are specified using a locale prefix of the form "ll" or "ll_CC." where "ll" is the 2-letter ISO language code and "CC" is the 2-letter ISO country code<ul>
		<li>A generic language translation ("ll") SHOULD be provided with country-specific differences ("ll_CC") provided only as needed</li>
		<li>For historical reasons, the "zh" and "zh_CN" locales map to Simplified Chinese while the "zh_TW" locale maps to Traditional Chinese</li>
	</ul></li>

	<li>Locale-specific translation strings MUST be encoded using UTF-8.</li>

	<li>Main keywords MUST be localized using one of the following forms:
	<p><tt>*ll.Translation MainKeyword/translation text: ""</tt><br />
	<tt>*ll_CC.Translation MainKeyword/translation text: ""</tt></p></li>

	<li>Option keywords MUST be localized using one of the following forms:
	<p><tt>*ll.MainKeyword OptionKeyword/translation text: ""</tt><br>
	<tt>*ll_CC.MainKeyword OptionKeyword/translation text: ""</tt></p></li>

	<li>Localization keywords MAY appear anywhere after the first line of the PPD file</li>

</ol>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>We use a <tt>LanguageEncoding</tt> value of <tt>ISOLatin1</tt> and limit the allowed base translation strings to ASCII to avoid character coding issues that would otherwise occur. In addition, requiring the base translation strings to be in English allows for easier fallback translation when no localization is provided in the PPD file for a given locale.</p>

<h2 class='title'><a name='OPTIONS'><span class="info">CUPS 1.3/OS X 10.6</span>Custom Options</a></h2>

<p>CUPS supports custom options using an extension of the <tt>CustomPageSize</tt> and <tt>ParamCustomPageSize</tt> syntax:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*CustomFoo True: "command"
*ParamCustomFoo Name1/Text 1: order type minimum maximum
*ParamCustomFoo Name2/Text 2: order type minimum maximum
...
*ParamCustomFoo NameN/Text N: order type minimum maximum
</pre>

<p>When the base option is part of the <tt>JCLSetup</tt> section, the "command" string contains JCL commands with "\order" placeholders for each numbered parameter. The CUPS API handles any necessary value quoting for HP-PJL commands. For example, if the JCL command string is "@PJL SET PASSCODE=\1" and the first
option value is "1234" then CUPS will output the string "@PJL SET PASSCODE=1234".</p>

<p>For non-<tt>JCLSetup</tt> options, the "order" value is a number from 1 to N and specifies the order of values as they are placed on the stack before the command. For example, if the PostScript command string is "&lt;&lt;/cupsReal1 2 1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice" and the option value is "2.0" then CUPS will output the string "2.0 &lt;&lt;/cupsReal1 2 1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice".</p>

<p>The "type" is one of the following keywords:</p>

<ul>

	<li><tt>curve</tt> - a real value from "minimum" to "maximum" representing a gamma correction curve using the function: f(x) = x <sup>value</sup></li>

	<li><tt>int</tt> - an integer value from "minimum" to "maximum"</li>

	<li><tt>invcurve</tt> - a real value from "minimum" to "maximum" representing a gamma correction curve using the function: f(x) = x <sup>1 / value</sup></li>

	<li><tt>passcode</tt> - a string of numbers value with a minimum of "minimum" numbers and a maximum of "maximum" numbers ("minimum" and "maximum" are numbers and passcode strings are not displayed in the user interface)</li>

	<li><tt>password</tt> - a string value with a minimum of "minimum" characters and a maximum of "maximum" characters ("minimum" and "maximum" are numbers and password strings are not displayed in the user interface)</li>

	<li><tt>points</tt> - a measurement value in points from "minimum" to "maximum"</li>

	<li><tt>real</tt> - a real value from "minimum" to "maximum"</li>

	<li><tt>string</tt> - a string value with a minimum of "minimum" characters and a maximum of "maximum" characters ("minimum" and "maximum" are numbers)</li>

</pre>


<h2 class='title'><a name='RASTERPS'>Writing PostScript Option Commands for Raster Drivers</a></h2>

<p>PPD files are used for both PostScript and non-PostScript printers. For CUPS raster drivers, you use a subset of the PostScript language to set page device keywords such as page size, resolution, and so forth. For example, the following code sets the page size to A4 size:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*PageSize A4: "&lt;&lt;/PageSize[595 842]&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"
</pre>

<p>Custom options typically use other operators to organize the values into a key/value dictionary for <tt>setpagedevice</tt>. For example, our previous <tt>CustomWatermarkText</tt> option code uses the <tt>roll</tt> operator to move the custom string value into the dictionary for <tt>setpagedevice</tt>:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*CustomWatermarkText True: "&lt;&lt;/cupsString1 3 -1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"
</pre>

<p>For a custom string value of "My Watermark", CUPS will produce the following PostScript code for the option:</p>

<pre class='command'>
(My Watermark)
&lt;&lt;/cupsString1 3 -1 roll&gt;&gt;setpagedevice
</pre>

<p>The code moves the string value ("My Watermark") from the bottom of the stack to the top, creating a dictionary that looks like:</p>

<pre class='command'>
&lt;&lt;/cupsString1(My Watermark)&gt;&gt;setpagedevice
</pre>

<p>The resulting dictionary sets the page device attributes that are sent to your raster driver in the page header.</p>

<h3>Custom Page Size Code</h3>

<p>There are many possible implementations of the <tt>CustomPageSize</tt> code. For CUPS raster drivers, the following code is recommended:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*ParamCustomPageSize Width:        1 points <i>min-width max-width</i>
*ParamCustomPageSize Height:       2 points <i>min-height max-height</i>
*ParamCustomPageSize WidthOffset:  3 points 0 0
*ParamCustomPageSize HeightOffset: 4 points 0 0
*ParamCustomPageSize Orientation:  5 int 0 0
*CustomPageSize True: "pop pop pop &lt;&lt;/PageSize[5 -2 roll]/ImagingBBox null&gt;&gt;setpagedevice"
</pre>

<h3>Supported PostScript Operators</h3>

<p>CUPS supports the following PostScript operators in addition to the usual PostScript number, string (literal and hex-encoded), boolean, null, and name values:</p>

<ul>

	<li><tt>&lt;&lt;</tt> - Start a dictionary.</li>

	<li><tt>&gt;&gt;</tt> - End a dictionary.</li>

	<li><tt>[</tt> - Start an array.</li>

	<li><tt>]</tt> - End an array.</li>

	<li><tt>copy</tt> - Copy the top N objects on the stack.</li>

	<li><tt>dup</tt> - Copy the top object on the stack.</li>

	<li><tt>index</tt> - Copy the Nth from the top object on the stack.</li>

	<li><tt>pop</tt> - Pop the top object on the stack.</li>

	<li><tt>roll</tt> - Shift the top N objects on the stack.</li>

	<li><tt>setpagedevice</tt> - Set the page header values according to the key/value dictionary on the stack.</li>

</ul>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p><em>Never</em> use the unsupported <tt>dict</tt> or <tt>put</tt>
operators in your option code. These operators are typically used in
option code dating back to Level 1 PostScript printers, which did not
support the simpler <tt>&lt;&lt;</tt> or <tt>&gt;&gt;</tt> operators.
If you have old option code using <tt>dict</tt> or <tt>put</tt>, you can
rewrite it very easily to use the newer <tt>&lt;&lt;</tt> and
<tt>&gt;&gt;</tt> operators instead. For example, the following code
to set the page size:</p>

<style type='text/css'><!--
PRE B {
  background: #000000;
  color: #ffffff;
  padding: 2px 5px;
}
--></style>

<pre class='command'>
<b>1 dict dup</b> /PageSize [612 792] <b>put</b> setpagedevice
</pre>

<p>can be rewritten as:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<b>&lt;&lt;</b> /PageSize [612 792] <b>&gt;&gt;</b> setpagedevice
</pre>

<h3><span class='info'>Deprecated</span><a name='cupsFlipDuplex'>cupsFlipDuplex</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsFlipDuplex: boolean</p>

<p>Due to implementation differences between OS X and Ghostscript,
the <tt>cupsFlipDuplex</tt> keyword is deprecated. Instead, use
the <a href='#cupsBackSide'><tt>cupsBackSide</tt></a> keyword to specify
the coordinate system (pixel layout) of the page data on the back side of
duplex pages.</p>

<p>The value <code>true</code> maps to a <tt>cupsBackSide</tt> value
of <code>Rotated</code> on OS X and <code>Flipped</code> with
Ghostscript.</p>

<p>The default value is <code>false</code>.</p>

<blockquote><b>Note:</b>

<p>OS X drivers that previously used
<tt>cupsFlipDuplex</tt> may wish to provide both the old and
new keywords for maximum compatibility, for example:</p>

<pre class='command'>
*cupsBackSide: Rotated
*cupsFlipDuplex: true

<h3><span class='info'>CUPS 1.3/OS X 10.5</span><a name='cupsIPPReason'>cupsIPPReason</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsIPPReason reason/Reason Text: "optional URIs"</p>

<p>This optional keyword maps custom
<code>printer-state-reasons</code> keywords that are generated by
the driver to human readable text. The optional URIs string
contains zero or more URIs separated by a newline. Each URI can
be a CUPS server absolute path to a help file under the
scheduler's <code>DocumentRoot</code> directory, a full HTTP URL
("http://www.domain.com/path/to/help/page.html"), or any other
valid URI which directs the user at additional information
concerning the condition that is being reported.</p>

<p>Since the reason text is limited to 80 characters by the PPD specification, longer text strings can be included by URI-encoding the text with the "text" scheme, for example "text:some%20text". Multiple <code>text</code> URIs are combined by the <tt>ppdLocalizeIPPReason</tt> into a single string that can be displayed to the user.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Map com.vendor-error to text but no page</em>

<h3><span class='info'>CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5</span><a name='cupsPortMonitor'>cupsPortMonitor</a></h3>

<p class='summary'>*cupsPortMonitor urischeme/Descriptive Text: "port monitor"</p>

<p>This string keyword specifies printer-specific "port
monitor" filters that may be used with the printer. The CUPS
scheduler also looks for the <tt>Protocols</tt> keyword to see
if the <tt>BCP</tt> or <tt>TBCP</tt> protocols are supported. If
so, the corresponding port monitor ("bcp" and "tbcp",
respectively) is listed in the printer's
<tt>port-monitor-supported</tt> keyword.</p>

<p>The "urischeme" portion of the keyword specifies the URI scheme
that this port monitor should be used for. Typically this is used to
pre-select a particular port monitor for each type of connection that
is supported by the printer. The "port monitor" string can be "none"
to disable the port monitor for the given URI scheme.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>

<p class='summary'>*cupsSingleFile: Boolean</p>

<p>This boolean keyword tells the scheduler whether to print multiple files in a job together or singly. The default is "False" which uses a single instance of the backend for all files in the print job. Setting this keyword to "True" will result in separate instances of the backend for each file in the print job.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<pre class='command'>
<em>*% Send all print data to a single backend</em>
*cupsSingleFile: False

<em>*% Send each file using a separate backend</em>
*cupsSingleFile: True
