NAME
cupsd - cups scheduler
SYNOPSIS
cupsd [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-files.conf ] [ -t ]
DESCRIPTION
cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most
of the requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configuration file
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.
OPTIONS
-c cupsd.conf
Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.
-f Run cupsd in the foreground; the default is to run in the background as a "daemon".
-F Run cupsd in the foreground but detach the process from the controlling terminal and current directory. This is useful for running
cupsd from init(8).
-h Shows the program usage.
-l This option is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd(8) or systemd(8).
-s cups-files.conf
Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.
-t Test the configuration file for syntax errors.
FILES
/etc/cups/classes.conf
/etc/cups/cups-files.conf
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
/usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs
/usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types
/etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/subscriptions.conf
CONFORMING TO
cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administrative operations.
EXAMPLES
Run cupsd in the background with the default configuration file:
cupsd
Test a configuration file called test.conf:
cupsd -t -c test.conf
Run cupsd in the foreground with a test configuration file called test.conf:
cupsd -f -c test.conf
