cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system based
upon the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most of the
requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the
command-line then the default configuration file
/usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.
- -c cupsd.conf
- Uses the named cupsd.conf 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) or systemd(8).
- -s cups-files.conf
- Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.
- -t
- Test the configuration file for syntax errors.
