description
cupstestppd
tests the conformance of PPD files to the Adobe PostScript
Printer Description file format specification version 4.3.
It can also be used to list the supported options and
available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
any other output are sent to the standard output.
The first form
of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on the
command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided on
the standard input.

should be displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR

results.
