SYNOPSIS

9       cupsd  [  -c  cupsd.conf  ]  [  -f  ]  [  -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-

DESCRIPTION

13       cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system  based
14       upon  the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most of
15       the requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the
16       command-line  then  the default configuration file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
17       will be used.
18

OPTIONS

20       -c cupsd.conf
21            Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.
22
23       -f   Run cupsd in the foreground; the default is to run  in  the  back‐
24            ground as a "daemon".
25
26       -F   Run  cupsd  in the foreground but detach the process from the con‐
27            trolling terminal and current directory. This is useful  for  run‐
28            ning cupsd from init(8).
29
30       -h   Shows the program usage.
31
32       -l   This  option  is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd(8) or
33            systemd(8).
34
35       -s cups-files.conf
36            Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.
37
38       -t   Test the configuration file for syntax errors.
