DESCRIPTION
       ippserver  is  a  simple  Internet  Printing  Protocol (IPP) server conforming to the IPP Everywhere (PWG
       5100.14) specification. It can be used to test client software or act as a very basic print  server  that
       runs a command for every job that is printed.


OPTIONS
       The following options are recognized by ippserver:

       -2   Report support for two-sided (duplex) printing.

       -M manufacturer
            Set the manufacturer of the printer.  The default is "Test".

       -P   Report support for PIN printing.

       -c command
            Run the specified command for each document that is printed.

       -d spool-directory
            Specifies the directory that will hold the print files.  The default is a directory under the user's
            current temporary directory.

       -f type/subtype[,...]
            Specifies  a  list  of  MIME  media  types  that  the  server   will   accept.    The   default   is
            "application/pdf,image/jpeg,image/pwg-raster".

       -h   Shows program help.

       -i iconfile.png
            Specifies the printer icon file for the server.  The default is "printer.png".

       -k   Keeps the print documents in the spool directory rather than deleting them.

       -l location
            Specifies  the  human-readable  location  string that is reported by the server.  The default is the
            empty string.

       -m model
            Specifies the model name of the printer.  The default is "Printer".

       -n hostname
            Specifies the hostname that is reported by the server.  The default is  the  name  returned  by  the
            hostname(1) command.

       -p port
            Specifies the port number to listen on.  The default is a user-specific number from 8000 to 8999.

       -r subtype
            Specifies  the  Bonjour  subtype(s)  to  advertise.   Separate  multiple subtypes with a comma.  The
            default is "_print".

       -s speed[,color-speed]
            Specifies the printer speed in pages per minute.  If two numbers are specified and the second number
            is greater than zero, the server will report support for color printing.  The default is "10,0".

       -v[vvv]
            Be (very) verbose when logging activity to the standard output.


EXIT STATUS
       The ippserver program returns 1 if it is unable to process the command-line arguments or register the IPP
       service.  Otherwise ippserver will run continuously until terminated.


CONFORMING TO
       The ippserver program is unique to CUPS and conforms to the IPP Everywhere (PWG 5100.14) specification.


ENVIRONMENT
       ippserver adds environment variables starting with "IPP_"  for  all  IPP  Job  attributes  in  the  print
       request.   For  example,  when  executing  a  command  for an IPP Job containing the "media" Job Template
       attribute, the "IPP_MEDIA" environment variable will be set to the value of that attribute.

       Enumerated values are converted to  their  keyword  equivalents.   For  example,  a  "print-quality"  Job
       Template attribute with a enum value of 3 will become the "IPP_PRINT_QUALITY" environment variable with a
       value of "draft".


EXAMPLES
       Run ippserver with a service name of My Cool Printer:

           ippserver "My Cool Printer"

       Run the file(1) command whenever a job is sent to the server:

           ippserver -c file "My Cool Printer"
