| 49 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 50 | The \fBcupsd\-helper\fR programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler, | |
| 51 | .BR cupsd (8). | |
| 52 | The \fBcups-deviced\fR helper program runs each CUPS | |
| 53 | .BR backend (7) | |
| 54 | with no arguments in order to discover the available printers. | |
| 55 | .LP | |
| 56 | The \fBcups-driverd\fR helper program lists all available printer drivers, a subset of "matching" printer drivers, or a copy of a specific driver PPD file. | |
| 57 | .LP | |
| 8072030b | 58 | The \fBcups-exec\fR helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On macOS these programs are run in a secure sandbox. |

59 | .SH FILES |
| 60 | The \fBcups-driverd\fR program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories: | |
| 61 | .nf | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | \fI/Library/Printers\fR | |
| 64 | \fI/opt/share/ppd\fR | |
| 65 | \fI/System/Library/Printers\fR | |
| 66 | \fI/usr/local/share/ppd\fR | |
| 67 | \fI/usr/share/cups/drv\fR | |
| 68 | \fI/usr/share/cups/model\fR | |
| 69 | \fI/usr/share/ppd\fR | |
| 70 | .fi | |
| 71 | .LP | |
| 72 | PPD files can be compressed using the | |
| 73 | .BR gzip (1) | |
| 74 | program or placed in compressed | |
| 75 | .BR tar (1) | |
| 76 | archives to further reduce their size. | |
| 77 | .LP | |
| 78 | Driver information files must conform to the format defined in | |
| 79 | .BR ppdcfile (5). | |
