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 Inter-
net Printing Protocol, version 1.1. If no options are specified on the command-line then the default configura-
tion 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 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.
