The default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file contains:
Question 1:
#
# MaxLogSize: controls the maximum size of each log file before they are
# rotated. Defaults to 1048576 (1MB). Set to 0 to disable log rotating.
#
MaxLogSize 0
If I am reading this correctly, the default would have the logs grow without
limit. Is that correct?
I am going to comment it out - is that correct?
Question 2:
#
# Printcap: the name of the printcap file. Default is /etc/printcap.
# Leave blank to disable printcap file generation.
#
Printcap /etc/printcap
#
# PrintcapFormat: the format of the printcap file, currently either
# BSD or Solaris. The default is "BSD".
#
What is the purpose of printcap and what is the significance of the default
being BSD?
Question 3:
#
# Ports/addresses that we listen to. The default port 631 is reserved
# for the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and is what we use here.
#
If I only want to send print jobs to the printer, do I need to use IPP and
have cupsd listen on port 631?
Question 4:
#
# KeepAlive: whether or not to support the Keep-Alive connection
# option. Default is on.
#
#KeepAlive On
I am changing this to KeepAlive Off -- will that cause any problems?
Question 5:
#
# Browsing: whether or not to broadcast and/or listen for CUPS printer
# information on the network. Enabled by default.
#
#Browsing On
I am changing this to Browsing Off since I do not want to serve as a print
host. Is this correct?
