cupsd(8)

NAME
     cupsd - common unix printing system daemon

SYNOPSIS
     cupsd [ -c config-file ] [ -f ] [ -F ]

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 (usually /etc/cups/cupsd.conf) will be used.

     The  -f option forces cupsd to run in the foreground; the default is to run
     in the background as a "daemon".

     The -F option forces cupsd to  run  in  the  foreground  but  detaches  the
     process from the controlling terminal and current directory. This is useful
     for running cupsd from init.

COMPATIBILITY
     cupsd  implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and operations. It
     also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.
