NAME
       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS
       cupsd [ -c config-file ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION
       cupsd  is  the  scheduler  for CUPS. It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing
       Protocol, version 2.1.  If no options are specified on the command-line then the  default  configura-tion configuration
       tion file /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.

OPTIONS
       -c config-file
            Uses the named 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 controlling 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).

       -t
            Test the configuration file for syntax errors.

COMPATIBILITY
       cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It  also  implements  several
       CUPS-specific administration operations.
