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 back- ground as a "daemon".

-F Run cupsd in the foreground but detach the process from the con- trolling terminal and current directory. This is useful for run- ning 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.
