17It is normally located in the
18<i>/etc/cups</i>

19directory.
20<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

22file instead in order to prevent certain types of privilege escalation attacks.
23<p>Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment.
24Configuration directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace.
25The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive.
26Comment lines start with the # character.
