cupsd.conf - server configuration file for cups
<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
The
<i>cupsd.conf</i>
file configures the CUPS scheduler,
<a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8).</a>
It is normally located in the
<i>/etc/cups</i>
directory.
<b>Note:</b> File, directory, and user configuration directives that used to be allowed in the <b>cupsd.conf</b> file are now stored in the
<a href="man-cups-files.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cups-files.conf</b>(5)</a>
file instead in order to prevent certain types of privilege escalation attacks.
<p>Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment.
Configuration directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace.
The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive.
Comment lines start with the # character.
<h3><a name="TOP_LEVEL_DIRECTIVES">Top-level Directives</a></h3>
The following top-level directives are understood by

<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>DefaultPaperSize </b><i>sizename</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the default paper size for new print queues. "Auto" uses a locale-specific default, while "None" specifies there is no default paper size.

<dt><b>ErrorPolicy stop-printer</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies that a failed print job should stop the printer unless otherwise specified for the printer. The 'stop-printer' error policy is the default.
<dt><a name="FilterLimit"></a><b>FilterLimit </b><i>limit</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the maximum cost of filters that are run concurrently, which can be used to minimize disk, memory, and CPU resource problems.
A limit of 0 disables filter limiting.
An average print to a non-PostScript printer needs a filter limit of about 200.
A PostScript printer needs about half that (100).
Setting the limit below these thresholds will effectively limit the scheduler to printing a single job at any time.
The default limit is "0".
<dt><a name="FilterNice"></a><b>FilterNice </b><i>nice-value</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the scheduling priority (
<b>nice</b>(8)
value) of filters that are run to print a job.

<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><b>HostNameLookups Double</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies whether to do reverse lookups on connecting clients.
The "Double" setting causes
<a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8)</a>
to verify that the hostname resolved from the address matches one of the addresses returned for that hostname.
Double lookups also prevent clients with unregistered addresses from connecting to your server.
The default is "Off" to avoid the potential server performance problems with hostname lookups.
Only set this option to "On" or "Double" if absolutely required.
<dt><a name="JobKillDelay"></a><b>JobKillDelay </b><i>seconds</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the number of seconds to wait before killing the filters and backend associated with a canceled or held job.
The default is "30".
<dt><a name="JobRetryInterval"></a><b>JobRetryInterval </b><i>seconds</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the interval between retries of jobs in seconds.
This is typically used for fax queues but can also be used with normal print queues whose error policy is "retry-job" or "retry-current-job".
The default is "30".
<dt><a name="JobRetryLimit"></a><b>JobRetryLimit </b><i>count</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the number of retries that are done for jobs.
This is typically used for fax queues but can also be used with normal print queues whose error policy is "retry-job" or "retry-current-job".

<dt><a name="Limit"></a><b>&lt;Limit </b><i>method </i>...<b>> </b>... <b>&lt;/Limit></b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em"><dt><a name="LimitExcept"></a><b>&lt;LimitExcept </b><i>method </i>...<b>> </b>... <b>&lt;/LimitExcept></b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the HTTP methods that are being limited inside a Location section. HTTP method names are listed below in the section "HTTP METHODS".

The Listen directive is similar to the Port directive but allows you to restrict access to specific interfaces or networks.
<dt><a name="ListenBackLog"></a><b>ListenBackLog </b><i>number</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the number of pending connections that will be allowed.
This normally only affects very busy servers that have reached the MaxClients limit, but can also be triggered by large numbers of simultaneous connections.
When the limit is reached, the operating system will refuse additional connections until the scheduler can accept the pending ones.
The default is the OS-defined default limit, typically either "5" for older operating systems or "128" for newer operating systems.
<dt><a name="Location"></a><b>&lt;Location </b><i>/path</i><b>> </b>... <b>&lt;/Location></b>
