cups-deviced(8) [posix man page]

cups-deviced(8) 						    Apple Inc.							   cups-deviced(8)

NAME

       cups-deviced - cups device daemon

SYNOPSIS

       cups-deviced request-id limit user-id options

DESCRIPTION

       cups-deviced polls the backends in /usr/lib/cups/backend for a list of available devices.  It is run by cupsd(8) in response to a CUPS-Get-
       Devices request. The output format is an IPP response message. The request-id argument is the request ID from  the  original  IPP  request,
       typically  1.  The limit argument is the limit value from the original IPP request - 0 means no limit. The user-id argument is the request-
       ing-user-name value from the original IPP request.  Finally, the options argument is a  space-delimited	list  of  attributes  ("name=value
       name=value  ...") that were passed in with the request. Currently cups-deviced looks for the requested-attributes attribute and tailors the
       output accordingly.

NAME

       cupsd-helper - cupsd helper programs

SYNOPSIS

       cups-deviced request-id limit user-id options
       cups-driverd cat ppd-name
       cups-driverd list request_id limit options
       cups-exec sandbox-profile [ -g group-id ] [ -n nice-value ] [ -u user-id ] /path/to/program argv0 ...  argvN

DESCRIPTION

       The  cupsd-helper programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler, cupsd(8).  The cups-deviced helper program runs each
       CUPS backend(7) with no arguments in order to discover the available printers.

       The cups-driverd helper program lists all available printer drivers, a subset of "matching" printer drivers, or a copy of a specific driver
       PPD file.

       The cups-exec helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On macOS these programs are run in a secure sandbox.

FILES

       The cups-driverd program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories:

	   /Library/Printers
	   /opt/share/ppd
	   /System/Library/Printers
	   /usr/local/share/ppd
	   /usr/share/cups/drv
	   /usr/share/cups/model
	   /usr/share/ppd

       PPD files can be compressed using the gzip(1) program or placed in compressed tar(1) archives to further reduce their size.

       Driver information files must conform to the format defined in ppdcfile(5).
