NAME

       mime.convs - mime type conversion file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The  mime.convs	file defines the filters that are available for converting files from one format to another.  The standard filters support
       text, PDF, PostScript, and many types of image files.

       Additional filters are specified in files with the extension .convs in the CUPS configuration directory.

       Each line in the mime.convs file is a comment, blank, or filter line.  Comment lines start with the # character.  Filter lines specify  the
       source and destination MIME types along with a relative cost associated with the filter and the filter to run:

	   source/type destination/type cost filter

       The source/type field specifies the source MIME media type that is consumed by the filter.

       The destination/type field specifies the destination MIME media type that is produced by the filter.

       The  cost  field specifies the relative cost for running the filter.  A value of 100 means that the filter uses a large amount of resources
       while a value of 0 means that the filter uses very few resources.

       The filter field specifies the filter program filename.	Filenames are relative to the CUPS filter directory.

FILES

       /etc/cups - Typical CUPS configuration directory.
       /usr/lib/cups/filter - Typical CUPS filter directory.
       /usr/libexec/cups/filter - CUPS filter directory on macOS.

EXAMPLES

       Define a filter that converts PostScript documents to CUPS Raster format:

	   application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 50 pstoraster

NAME

       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS

       cupsd [ -c cupsd.conf ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-files.conf ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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.

FILES

       /etc/cups/classes.conf
       /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
       /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
       /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs
       /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.types
       /etc/cups/printers.conf
       /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf

CONFORMING TO

       cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administrative operations.

EXAMPLES

       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
