<P>The <VAR>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</VAR> file contains
configuration <I>directives</I> that control how the server
functions. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed
by its value. Comments are introduced using the number sign ("#")
character at the beginning of a line.</P>

<P>Since the server configuration file consists of plain text,
you can use your favorite text editor to make changes to it.
After making any changes, restart the <CODE>cupsd(8)</CODE>
process using the startup script for your operating system:</P>

<UL>

	<LI>AIX, Linux, Solaris:
	<PRE CLASS="command">
/etc/init.d/cups restart
	</PRE></LI>

	<LI>HP-UX:
	<PRE CLASS="command">
/sbin/init.d/cups restart

	<LI>MacOS X:
	<PRE CLASS="command">
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist
	</PRE></LI>

</UL>

<P>You can also edit this file from the CUPS web interface, which
automatically handles restarting the scheduler.</P>

<BLOCKQUOTE><B>Note:</B>

<P>The specification of time units ("w" for weeks, "h" for hours, etc.) in the various time interval directives is new in CUPS 1.6/OS X 10.8. Prior releases of CUPS only supported time intervals in seconds.</P>

<P>The <CODE>Allow</CODE> directive specifies a hostname, IP

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>FilterLimit</CODE> directive sets the maximum cost

filter programs that are run on a server to minimize disk,
memory, and CPU resource problems. A limit of 0 disables filter
limiting.</P>

<P>An average print to a non-PostScript printer needs a filter
limit of about 200. A PostScript printer needs about half that

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>HostNameLookups</CODE> directive controls whether or
not CUPS looks up the hostname for connecting clients. The

prevent clients with unregistered addresses from connecting to
your server.</P>

<PRE CLASS="command">
&lt;Location /path&gt;
  &lt;LimitExcept GET POST&gt;
  ...
  &lt;/LimitExcept&gt;
&lt;/Location&gt;
</PRE>

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>LimitExcept</CODE> directive groups access control
directives for specific types of HTTP requests and must appear
inside a <A HREF="#Location"><CODE>Location</CODE></A> section.
Unlike the <A HREF="#Limit"><CODE>Limit</CODE></A> directive,
<CODE>LimitExcept</CODE> restricts access for all requests
<I>except</I> those listed on the <CODE>LimitExcept</CODE>
line.</P>


<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="LimitRequestBody">LimitRequestBody</A></H2>

<H3>Examples</H3>

<PRE CLASS="command">
LimitRequestBody 10485760
LimitRequestBody 10m
LimitRequestBody 0
</PRE>

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>LimitRequestBody</CODE> directive controls the
maximum size of print files, IPP requests, and HTML form data in
HTTP POST requests. The default limit is 0 which disables the
limit check.</P>


<H2 CLASS="title"><A NAME="Listen">Listen</A></H2>

<H3>Examples</H3>

<PRE CLASS="command">
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Listen 192.0.2.1:631
Listen [::1]:631
Listen *:631
</PRE>

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>Listen</CODE> directive specifies a network address
and port to listen for connections. Multiple <CODE>Listen</CODE>
directives can be provided to listen on multiple addresses.</P>

<P>The <CODE>Listen</CODE> directive is similar to the <A
HREF="#Port"><CODE>Port</CODE></A> directive but allows you to
restrict access to specific interfaces or networks.</P>

<H3>Examples</H3>

<PRE CLASS="command">

ListenBackLog 10
</PRE>

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>ListenBackLog</CODE> directive sets the maximum
number of pending connections the scheduler will allow. This
normally only affects very busy servers that have reached the <A
HREF="#MaxClients"><CODE>MaxClients</CODE></A> limit, but can
also be triggered by large numbers of simultaneous connections.
When the limit is reached, the operating system will refuse
additional connections until the scheduler can accept the pending
ones. The default is the OS-defined default limit, typically
either 5 for older operating systems or 128 for newer operating
systems.</P>

<P>Note that more specific resources override the less specific

<P>When <A HREF="#LogLevel"><CODE>LogLevel</CODE></A> is not set to

<P>The <CODE>LogLevel</CODE> directive specifies the level of

everything under the preceding levels):</P>

<H3>Description</H3>

<P>The <CODE>LogTimeFormat</CODE> directive specifies the format used for the

<BLOCKQUOTE><B>Note:</B>

<P>Since each print job requires a file descriptor for the status

<P>The <CODE>MaxClientsPerHost</CODE> directive controls the

maximum size it is closed and renamed to <VAR>filename.O</VAR>.
This allows you to rotate the logs automatically. The default
