Solution

cupstestppd — Test conformance of PPD files to the version 4.3 of the specification. Error codes (1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively): bad CLI arguments, unable to open file, unskippable format errors, and non-conformance with PPD specification. Note: This command is deprecated. See also: lpadmin. More information: <https://openprinting.github.io/cups/doc/man-cupstestppd.html>.

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 < {{path/to/file.ppd}} -v -


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
