Show the contents of a PPD file

          showppd
          file

## Description

`showppd` parses the binary data of a PPD file and pretty prints the pertinent information to stdout. PPD files are typically distributed by printer manufacturers and contains information on the fonts and features that a particular printer supports.

Netatalk's `papd` printer daemon can use PPD files to determine the capabilities of a printer that it is attempting to print to.
