# lprint.conf(5)

server configuration file.

## NAME

lprint.conf - server configuration file.

## DESCRIPTION

The **lprint.conf** server configuration file provides default values for zero or more server options. LPrint will look in the **/etc**, **/usr/local/etc**, **/Library/Application Support**(macOS) , and/or **$SNAP\_COMMON** directories for system-wide defaults and the **$HOME/.config**, **$HOME/Library/Application Support**(macOS) , and/or **%PROFILE%/AppData/Local** (Windows) directories for per-user defaults.

Lines starting with the "#" character are comments, for example:

```
    # This is a comment
```

Otherwise, LPrint will look for options of the form "NAME=VALUE". Multiple options can be specified on a line when separated by whitespace.

## EXAMPLES

Listen on the hostname "server.example.com" and log activity to the file "/var/log/lprint.log":

```
    # Listen on the server's published addresses...
    listen-hostname=server.example.com
    # Log file and level...
    log-file=/var/log/lprint.log log-level=debug
```
