<b>cupsd</b>
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
<i>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</i>
will be used.
