>Print Server Configuration: CUPS</title>

<para
>Start the print server configuration (now that you have chosen &CUPS;, this is equivalent to the configuration of the &CUPS; daemon) by clicking on the appropriate button. You can find it by moving the mouse slowly over the buttons and reading the tooltips. It should be the 11th from the left , or third from the right; its icon is a <guiicon
>wrench</guiicon
>.</para>

<para
>The &CUPS; Server Configuration window pops up. It gives you a structured view of all the settings that apply to the &CUPS; daemon. The configuration file for that daemon is normally located in <filename
>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</filename
>. This is a plain <acronym
>ASCII</acronym
> file with a syntax similar to the configuration file of the <application
>Apache</application
> web server. It is a good idea to create a backup copy, just in case something goes wrong with the configuration through &kdeprint;/&CUPS; Server Configuration dialogues:</para>

><userinput
><command
>cp</command
> <filename
>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf</filename
> <filename

>As this graphical user interface to edit the configuration file is such a new feature, you should have the second chance of resorting to the original file. So back it up, please.</para>

<title

<para
>One very nice feature is the <quote
>Quick Help</quote

>What's this?</guiicon
>) on your window title bar, you'll see the cursor changing its form. Now click on a <command
>cupsd</command
> configuration setting field to find out what it means and what your options are. In most cases you should understand the meaning immediately, otherwise turn to the excellent &CUPS; documentation.

<para

<para

There are constantly new features being added. New features might for times be only configurable by directly editing the configuration files. The &kdeprint; &GUI; might not have caught up with &CUPS; development.</para>

<note>
<para
>&CUPS; is dependent (for its calculation of the number of pages in a job) on passing the &PostScript; through the <quote
>pstops</quote
> filter. See the <link linkend="architecture-diagram"
>&kivio; Flowchart</link
> on the &CUPS; filter architecture for an idea about were this filter fits into the whole printing process). More, <command
>pstops</command
> depends for the counting on a <acronym
>DSC</acronym
> conforming (<acronym
>DSC</acronym
> is Document Structuring Conventions, a standard defined by Adobe) to be sent by the client. In most cases this is working.</para>

<para
>However, this page accounting does not work for any <quote
>raw</quote
> printer queues (as those, by definition, don't use any filtering on the &CUPS; host and are by-passing <command
>pstops</command
>.) Every job going through a <quote
>raw</quote
> queue is counted as a 1-page-job (with possibly multiple copies). This is especially true for all Jobs send from &Microsoft; &Windows; clients via <application
>Samba</application
> to the &CUPS; server, as those jobs are already arriving in the correct format for the printer, because the clients use the original printer driver.</para>

<note>
<para
