cupsd(8) OpenPrinting cupsd(8)
cupsd - cups scheduler
cupsd [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-
files.conf ] [ -t ]
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 requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no
options are specified on the command-line then the default
configuration file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.
-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
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)
or systemd(8).
-s cups-files.conf
Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.
-t Test the configuration file for syntax errors.

cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and
operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific
administrative operations.
Run cupsd in the background with the default configuration file:
cupsd
Test a configuration file called test.conf:
cupsd -t -c test.conf
Run cupsd in the foreground with a test configuration file called
test.conf:
cupsd -f -c test.conf
