Configure a cups server

Usage

system-config-printer [{[--show-jobs printer] | [--debug] | [--help]}]

Overview

system-config-printer configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS API (bound to Python with pycups) to do this. The communication with the server is performed using IPP. As a result, it is equally able to configure a remote CUPS server as a local one.
