<para><parameter>--with-testpattern</parameter>: This parameter causes the
test pattern generator program to be built.</para>
<para><parameter>--enable-test</parameter>: This parameter causes the
programs required by the test suite to be built.</para>
<para><option>--with-translated-ppds=no</option>: When this switch is
given, only US English PPD files for <application>CUPS</application>
will be built. Useful if the PPD files are not yet translated into your
native language and you want to save some space by not installing unneeded
translations.</para>
<para><option>--enable-cups-level3-ps</option>: This option causes
the build process to generate PostScript level 3 PPD files
instead of level 2 ones.</para>

class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>This command may take a very long time (up to 10 minutes)
to complete. Don't panic while <application>CUPS</application>
is rescanning the list of PPD files. The long delay will happen
only once.</para>
</note>
<para>Then point your web browser to <ulink url="http://localhost:631/"/>
to add a new printer to <application>CUPS</application>.</para>
