NAME

system-config-printer - configure a CUPS server

SYNOPSIS

system-config-printer [[--configure-printer=printer] | [--choose-driver=printer] | [--print-test-page=printer] | [--debug]]

DESCRIPTION

system-config-printer configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS API (bound to Python with pycups) to do this. The communication with the server is performed using IPP. As a result, it is equally able to configure a remote CUPS server as a local one.
