cupsd-helper(8) OpenPrinting cupsd-helper(8) NAME cupsd-helper - cupsd helper programs (deprecated) SYNOPSIS cups-deviced request-id limit user-id options cups-driverd cat ppd-name cups-driverd list request_id limit options cups-exec sandbox-profile [ -g group-id ] [ -n nice-value ] [ -u user- id ] /path/to/program argv0 ... argvN DESCRIPTION The cupsd-helper programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler, cupsd(8). The cups-deviced helper program runs each CUPS backend(7) with no arguments in order to discover the available printers. The cups-driverd helper program lists all available printer drivers, a subset of "matching" printer drivers, or a copy of a specific driver PPD file. The cups-exec helper program runs backends, filters, and other pro- grams. On macOS these programs are run in a secure sandbox. FILES The cups-driverd program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories: /Library/Printers /opt/share/ppd /System/Library/Printers /usr/local/share/ppd /usr/share/cups/drv /usr/share/cups/model /usr/share/ppd PPD files can be compressed using the gzip(1) program or placed in com- pressed tar(1) archives to further reduce their size. Driver information files must conform to the format defined in ppdc- file(5). NOTES CUPS printer drivers, backends, and PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
