[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #2949: Tell in the documentation/man page/help output of cupstestppd that CUPS accepts all PPDs which pass "cupstestppd -r" and does not accept PPDs which fail this cupstestppd call

[Till Kamppeter]

What I mean is that if you create a print queue with a PPD, CUPS will 
check whether the PPD is sane and in the case that it considers the PPD 
broken (non spec-conforming enough) then it will not use the PPD and set 
up a raw queue instead. What I want to do is to use cupstestppd to check 
already before creating a queue whether CUPS will accept a PPD for 
creating a queue, especially I want to be able to do this check also on 
machines without running CUPS daemon (for example the OpenPrinting server).
