| 46 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 47 | The \fBcupsd\-helper\fR programs perform long-running operations on behalf of the scheduler, | |
| 48 | .BR cupsd (8). | |
| 49 | The \fBcups-deviced\fR helper program runs each CUPS | |
| 50 | .BR backend (7) | |
| 51 | with no arguments in order to discover the available printers. | |
| 52 | .LP | |
| 53 | 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. | |
| 54 | .LP | |
| 8072030b | 55 | The \fBcups-exec\fR helper program runs backends, filters, and other programs. On macOS these programs are run in a secure sandbox. |

56 | .SH FILES |
| 57 | The \fBcups-driverd\fR program looks for PPD and driver information files in the following directories: | |
| 58 | .nf | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | \fI/Library/Printers\fR | |
| 61 | \fI/opt/share/ppd\fR | |
| 62 | \fI/System/Library/Printers\fR | |
| 63 | \fI/usr/local/share/ppd\fR | |
| 64 | \fI/usr/share/cups/drv\fR | |
| 65 | \fI/usr/share/cups/model\fR | |
| 66 | \fI/usr/share/ppd\fR | |
| 67 | .fi | |
| 68 | .LP | |
| 69 | PPD files can be compressed using the | |
| 70 | .BR gzip (1) | |
| 71 | program or placed in compressed | |
| 72 | .BR tar (1) | |
| 73 | archives to further reduce their size. | |
| 74 | .LP | |
| 75 | Driver information files must conform to the format defined in | |
| 76 | .BR ppdcfile (5). | |
| 87030afb MS |
77 | .SH NOTES |
| 78 | CUPS printer drivers, backends, and PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. | |
| 79 | Printers that do not support IPP can be supported using applications such as | |
| 80 | .BR ippeveprinter (1). | |
