\fBmake_driver_db_cups\fP prints all printer descriptions found in a given directory and all its subdirectories to stdout.
|
||
|
|
The first line gives the number of all found printers. Every printer description block consists of the items FILE, MANUFACTURER, MODELNAME, MODEL and DESCRIPTION.
|
||
|
|
The block is followed by the current block number.
|
||
|
|
