Using foomatic-db-engine under OpenBSD
======================================

PPD files can be generated using foomatic-ppdfile(1) as in the following
example for an Epson Stylus C64:

$ foomatic-ppdfile -P C64
Epson Stylus C64 Id='Epson-Stylus_C64' Driver='gutenprint' CompatibleDrivers='gimp-print gutenprint gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2 gutenprint-ijs.5.2 '
$ foomatic-ppdfile -p 'Epson-Stylus_C64' -d 'gutenprint-ijs.5.2' > C64.ppd

C64.ppd can then be used with CUPS or with lpd(8) and foomatic-rip(1) as
the input filter.
Drivers availability depends on what db you have installed on your system
(i.e. foomatic-db, foomatic-db-gutenprint...).
