Slackware: cups
LinuxSecurity.com: New cups packages are available for Slackware 12.0, and -current to fix security issues. The change from CUPS 1.2.x to CUPS 1.3.x was tested here, but if you're on a completely secured internal network these issues may be less of a risk than upgrading. If your IPP port is open to the internet, you'd be advised to upgrade as soon as possible (or firewall the port at the gateway if you're not in need of printer jobs coming in from the internet).

cupsd

cupsd(8)							    Apple Inc.								  cupsd(8)

NAME

       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS

       cupsd [ -c config-file ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION

       cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1.  If no options are
       specified on the command-line then the default configuration file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.

OPTIONS

       -c config-file
	    Uses the named 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).

       -t
	    Test the configuration file for syntax errors.

COMPATIBILITY

       cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.
