.SH NAME
cupsd \- common unix printing system daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cupsd
[ \-c
.I config-file
] [ \-f ] [ \-F ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIcupsd\fR is the scheduler for the Common UNIX Printing System. It
implements 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 \fI/etc/cups/cupsd.conf\fR) will be
used.
.PP
The \fI-f\fR option forces \fIcupsd\fR to run in the foreground; the
default is to run in the background as a "daemon".
.PP
The \fI-F\fR option forces \fIcupsd\fR to run in the foreground
but detaches the process from the controlling terminal and
current directory. This is useful for running \fIcupsd\fR from
\fIinit\fR.
.SH COMPATIBILITY
\fIcupsd\fR implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and
operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administation
operations.
