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 Sys-
       tem. It implements a printing system based upon the Inter-
       net  Printing  Protocol,  version  1.1.  If no options are
       specified on the command-line then the default  configura-
       tion 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.
