client.conf

The /etc/cups/client.conf and ~/.cups/client.conf files contain up to two directives that determine how the client behaves. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed by its value. Comments are introduced using the number sign ("#") character at the beginning of a line.

Encryption

Examples

Encryption Never
Encryption IfRequested
Encryption Required
Encryption Always

Description

The Encryption directive specifies the default encryption settings for the client.

The default setting is IfRequested.

ServerName

Examples

ServerName foo.bar.com
ServerName 11.22.33.44
ServerName foo.bar.com:8631

Description

The ServerName directive specifies sets the remote server that is to be used for all client operations. That is, it redirects all client requests to the remote server.

The default port number is 631 but can be overridden by adding a colon followed by the desired port number to the value.

The default is to use the local server ("localhost") or domain socket, if so configured.
