cupsd - cups scheduler

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

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.

• -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.

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