NAME

       client.conf - client configuration file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The  client.conf  file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the /etc/cups
       or ~/.cups directory. Each line in the file can be  a  configuration  directive,  a  blank
       line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.

DIRECTIVES

       The  following  directives  are  understood  by  the  client. Consult the on-line help for
       detailed descriptions:

       Encryption IfRequested

       Encryption Never

       Encryption Required
            Specifies the level of encryption that is required for a particular location.

       GSSServiceName name
            Specifies the Kerberos service  name  that  is  used  for  authentication,  typically
            "host",  "http",  or "ipp". CUPS adds the remote hostname ("name@server.example.com")
            for you. The default name is "http".

       ServerName hostname-or-ip-address[:port]

       ServerName /domain/socket
            Specifies the address and optionally the port to use when connecting to  the  server.
            Note: Not supported on OS X 10.7 or later.

       ServerName hostname-or-ip-address[:port]/version=1.1
            Specifies  the  address  and  optionally  the port to use when connecting to a server
            running CUPS 1.3.12 and earlier. Note: Not supported on OS X 10.7 or later.

       SSLOptions [AllowRC4] [Allow SSL3]
            Sets SSL/TLS protocol options  for  encrypted  connections.  By  default,  CUPS  only
            supports  encryption  using  TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites. The
            AllowRC4 option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are  required  for  some
            older  clients  that  do  not  implement newer ones. The AllowSSL3 option enables SSL
            v3.0, which is required for some older clients that do not support TLS v1.0.

       User name
            Specifies the default user name to use for requests.
