NAME
       cupsd - common unix printing system daemon

SYNOPSIS
       cupsd [ -c config-file ] [ -f ] [ -F ]

DESCRIPTION
       cupsd  is the scheduler for the Common UNIX Printing System. It imple-
       ments a printing system based upon  the	Internet  Printing  Protocol,
       version 1.1.  If no options are specified on the command-line then the
       default configuration  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  opera-
       tions.  It also implements several CUPS-specific administration opera-
       tions.
