7.6. Read Settings of the Spooler

Settings of the spooler means the configuration of the whole spooler. It contains configured printer queues and also the system settings of the spooler.

7.6.1. CUPS System Settings

To read /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and /etc/cups/client.conf YaST uses the INI agent.

7.6.2. CUPS Queues Settings

CUPS queues are read via the IPP calls. They provide complete information about the queues and the PPD files used for filtering.

The only exception is for the URIs of Samba and Novell queues. From the security reasons the IPP calls don't return complete URI as specified in the configuration files, but URI without the user name and password specified. Because of this the URI is read directly from /etc/cups/printers.conf via the INI agent.
