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 configuration file /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  admin-
     istration operations.
