<title><acronym>CUPS</acronym> Configuration</title>

<para>Configuration of <acronym>CUPS</acronym> is dependent on the type 
of printer and can be complex. Generally, postscript printers are easier. 
For detailed instructions on configuration and use of <acronym>CUPS</acronym>, 
see <ulink url="http://www.cups.org/documentation.php"/>. The Software 
Administrators Manual and Software Users Manual are particularly useful.</para>

<para>During the install, <acronym>CUPS</acronym> created the startup file 
<filename>/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups</filename>. The file works, but you may 
want to change it to a more conventional <acronym>LFS</acronym> startup file:</para>

<screen><userinput><command>cat &gt; /etc/rc.d/init.d/cups &lt;&lt; "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
# Begin $rc_base/init.d/cups

# Start or stop the CUPS server based upon the first argument to the script.
