NAME

     cupsd - common unix printing system daemon

SYNOPSIS

     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 Internet
     Printing Protocol, version 1.1.  If no options are specified
     on  the  command-line  then  the  default configuration 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.
