+<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
+The <b>cupsd-helper</b> programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler,
+<a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8).</a>
+The <b>cups-deviced</b> helper program runs each CUPS
+<a href="man-backend.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>backend</b>(7)</a>
+with no arguments in order to discover the available printers.
+<p>The <b>cups-driverd</b> helper program lists all available printer drivers, a subset of "matching" printer drivers, or a copy of a specific driver PPD file.
+<p>The <b>cups-exec</b> helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On OS X these programs are run in a secure sandbox.
+<h2 class="title"><a name="FILES">Files</a></h2>
+The <b>cups-driverd</b> program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories:
+<pre class="man">
+
+    <i>/Library/Printers</i>
+    <i>/opt/share/ppd</i>
+    <i>/System/Library/Printers</i>
+    <i>/usr/local/share/ppd</i>
+    <i>/usr/share/cups/drv</i>
+    <i>/usr/share/cups/model</i>
+    <i>/usr/share/ppd</i>
+</pre>
+<p>PPD files can be compressed using the
+<b>gzip</b>(1)
+program or placed in compressed
+<b>tar</b>(1)
+archives to further reduce their size.
+<p>Driver information files must conform to the format defined in
