The CUPS client applications use the /etc/cups/client.conf
file for default settings. This application also looks in the user's home directory for a file called .cupsrc
. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed by its value. It can be edited in your favorite text editor.
The client.conf
file contains two directives that determine the behavior of clients:
ServerName
Encryption
We will discuss these in detail in the next chapter, Client Setup.
