NAME

       cupsd.conf - server configuration file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The cupsd.conf file configures the CUPS scheduler, cupsd(8).  It is normally located in the /etc/cups directory.

       Each  line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character. The configu-
       ration directives are intentionally similar to those used by the popular Apache web server software and are described below.
