Name

cupsd - common unix printing system daemon

Synopsis

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

Description

cupsd is the scheduler for the Common UNIX Printing System. It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol, version 1.1. If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configuration file /private/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).

Compatibility

cupsd implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.
