12 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
13 The
14 <i>cupsd.conf</i>
15 file configures the CUPS scheduler,
16 <a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8).</a>
17 It is normally located in the
18 <i>/etc/cups</i>
19 directory.
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
21 <a href="man-cups-files.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cups-files.conf</b>(5)</a>
22 file 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.
24 Configuration directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace.
25 The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive.
26 Comment lines start with the # character.
27 <h3><a name="TOP_LEVEL_DIRECTIVES">Top-level Directives</a></h3>

110 An average print to a non-PostScript printer needs a filter limit of about 200.
111 A PostScript printer needs about half that (100).
112 Setting the limit below these thresholds will effectively limit the scheduler to printing a single job at any time.

126 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies whether to do reverse lookups on connecting clients.
127 The "Double" setting causes
128 <a href="man-cupsd.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages"><b>cupsd</b>(8)</a>
129 to verify that the hostname resolved from the address matches one of the addresses returned for that hostname.
130 Double lookups also prevent clients with unregistered addresses from connecting to your server.
131 The default is "Off" to avoid the potential server performance problems with hostname lookups.
132 Only set this option to "On" or "Double" if absolutely required.
133 <dt><a name="JobKillDelay"></a><b>JobKillDelay </b><i>seconds</i>
134 <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.
