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.
