NAME
       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS
       cupsd [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-files.conf ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       -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.

       /etc/cups/cups-files.conf

CONFORMING TO
       cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific	 ad‐
       ministrative operations.
