NAME
     cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS
     cupsd  [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-files.conf ]
     [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION
     cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system based upon
     the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most of	the  re-
     quirements  for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the command-
     line then the  default  configuration  file  /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
     will be used.

OPTIONS
     -c cupsd.conf
	  Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

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

     -F   Run cupsd in the foreground but detach the process from  the	control-
	  ling	terminal and current directory. This is useful for running cupsd
	  from init(8).

     -h   Shows the program usage.

     -l   This option is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd(8) or  sys-
	  temd(8).

     -s cups-files.conf
	  Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.

     -t   Test the configuration file for syntax errors.

FILES
     /usr/local/etc/cups/classes.conf
     /usr/local/etc/cups/cups-files.conf
     /usr/local/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
     /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs
     /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types
     /usr/local/etc/cups/printers.conf
     /usr/local/etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

CONFORMING TO
     cupsd  implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It
     also implements several CUPS-specific administrative operations.

	 cupsd

     Test a configuration file called test.conf:

	 cupsd -t -c test.conf

     test.conf:

	 cupsd -f -c test.conf
