cupsd - cups scheduler cupsd [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-files.conf ] [ -t ] 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 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.

5 -c cupsd.conf Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

5 -f Run cupsd in the foreground; the default is to run in the background as a "daemon".

5 -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).

5 -h Shows the program usage.

5 -l This option is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd (8) or systemd (8).

5 -s cups-files.conf Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.

5 -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 administrative operations. Run cupsd in the background with the default configuration file:

 cupsd

Test a configuration file called test.conf :

 cupsd -t -c test.conf

 cupsd -f -c test.conf
