51.SH DESCRIPTION
52The \fBcupsd\-helper\fR programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler,
53.BR cupsd (8).
54The \fBcups-deviced\fR helper program runs each CUPS
55.BR backend (7)
56with no arguments in order to discover the available printers.
57.LP
58The \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.
59.LP
60The \fBcups-exec\fR helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On OS X these programs are run in a secure sandbox.
61.SH FILES
62The \fBcups-driverd\fR program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories:
63.nf
64
65 \fI/Library/Printers\fR
66 \fI/opt/share/ppd\fR
67 \fI/System/Library/Printers\fR
68 \fI/usr/local/share/ppd\fR
69 \fI/usr/share/cups/drv\fR
70 \fI/usr/share/cups/model\fR
71 \fI/usr/share/ppd\fR
72.fi
73.LP
74PPD files can be compressed using the
75.BR gzip (1)
76program or placed in compressed
77.BR tar (1)
78archives to further reduce their size.
79.LP
80Driver information files must conform to the format defined in
81.BR ppdcfile (5).
