cupsd

cupsd

Cupsd is the daemon that runs the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) on a Linux system. CUPS is a printing system that allows you to print to printers connected to your computer or to printers on a network.

The cupsd daemon is responsible for accepting print jobs from clients, queuing the print jobs, and sending the print jobs to the printers. The cupsd daemon also handles authentication for print jobs, so that only authorized users can print.

The cupsd daemon is started automatically when your Linux system boots up. If you need to stop or restart the cupsd daemon, you can use the following commands:

sudo systemctl stop cups
sudo systemctl start cups

You can also use the cupsd configuration file to configure the cupsd daemon. The cupsd configuration file is located at /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

Here are some additional things to note about the cupsd daemon:

• The cupsd daemon is the core of the CUPS printing system.

• The cupsd daemon is started automatically when your Linux system boots up.

• You can use the cupsd configuration file to configure the cupsd daemon.
