+@node Printing Services
+@subsubsection Printing Services
+
+The @code{(gnu services cups)} module provides a Guix service definition
+for the CUPS printing service.  To add printer support to a GuixSD
+system, add a @code{cups-service} to the operating system definition:
+
+@deffn {Scheme Variable} cups-service-type
+The service type for the CUPS print server.  Its value should be a valid
+CUPS configuration (see below).  For example:
+@example
+(service cups-service-type (cups-configuration))
+@end example
+@end deffn
+
+The CUPS configuration controls the basic things about your CUPS
+installation: what interfaces it listens on, what to do if a print job
+fails, how much logging to do, and so on.  To actually add a printer,
+you have to visit the @url{http://localhost:631} URL, or use a tool such
+as GNOME's printer configuration services.  By default, configuring a
+CUPS service will generate a self-signed certificate if needed, for
+secure connections to the print server.
+
+One way you might want to customize CUPS is to enable or disable the web
+interface.  You can do that directly, like this:
+
+@example
+(service cups-service-type
+         (cups-configuration
+           (web-interface? #f)))
+@end example
+
+The available configuration parameters follow.  Each parameter
+definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
+indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
+strings.  There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string,
+if you have an old @code{cupsd.conf} file that you want to port over
+from some other system; see the end for more details.
+
+@c The following documentation was initially generated by
+@c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services cups).  Manually maintained
+@c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
+@c needed.  However if the change you want to make to this documentation
+@c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
+@c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with
+@c the churn as CUPS updates.
+
+
+Available @code{cups-configuration} fields are:
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} package cups
+The CUPS package.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} package-list extensions
+Drivers and other extensions to the CUPS package.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} files-configuration files-configuration
+Configuration of where to write logs, what directories to use for print
+spools, and related privileged configuration parameters.
+
+Available @code{files-configuration} fields are:
+
+@deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} log-location access-log
+Defines the access log filename.  Specifying a blank filename disables
+access log generation.  The value @code{stderr} causes log entries to be
+sent to the standard error file when the scheduler is running in the
+foreground, or to the system log daemon when run in the background.  The
+value @code{syslog} causes log entries to be sent to the system log
+daemon.  The server name may be included in filenames using the string
+@code{%s}, as in @code{/var/log/cups/%s-access_log}.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"/var/log/cups/access_log"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} file-name cache-dir
+Where CUPS should cache data.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"/var/cache/cups"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} string config-file-perm
+Specifies the permissions for all configuration files that the scheduler
+writes.
+
+Note that the permissions for the printers.conf file are currently
+masked to only allow access from the scheduler user (typically root).
+This is done because printer device URIs sometimes contain sensitive
+authentication information that should not be generally known on the
+system.  There is no way to disable this security feature.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"0640"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} log-location error-log
+Defines the error log filename.  Specifying a blank filename disables
+access log generation.  The value @code{stderr} causes log entries to be
+sent to the standard error file when the scheduler is running in the
+foreground, or to the system log daemon when run in the background.  The
+value @code{syslog} causes log entries to be sent to the system log
+daemon.  The server name may be included in filenames using the string
+@code{%s}, as in @code{/var/log/cups/%s-error_log}.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"/var/log/cups/error_log"}.

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{files-configuration} parameter} log-location page-log

+access log generation.  The value @code{stderr} causes log entries to be
+sent to the standard error file when the scheduler is running in the
+foreground, or to the system log daemon when run in the background.  The
+value @code{syslog} causes log entries to be sent to the system log
+daemon.  The server name may be included in filenames using the string
+@code{%s}, as in @code{/var/log/cups/%s-page_log}.

+
+Defaults to @samp{stop-printer}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer filter-limit
+Specifies the maximum cost of filters that are run concurrently, which
+can be used to minimize disk, memory, and CPU resource problems.  A
+limit of 0 disables filter limiting.  An average print to a
+non-PostScript printer needs a filter limit of about 200.  A PostScript
+printer needs about half that (100).  Setting the limit below these

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} host-name-lookups host-name-lookups
+Specifies whether to do reverse lookups on connecting clients.  The
+@code{double} setting causes @code{cupsd} to verify that the hostname
+resolved from the address matches one of the addresses returned for that
+hostname.  Double lookups also prevent clients with unregistered
+addresses from connecting to your server.  Only set this option to
+@code{#t} or @code{double} if absolutely required.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer job-retry-interval
+Specifies the interval between retries of jobs in seconds.  This is

+
+Defaults to @samp{30}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer job-retry-limit
+Specifies the number of retries that are done for jobs.  This is

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer limit-request-body
+Specifies the maximum size of print files, IPP requests, and HTML form
+data.  A limit of 0 disables the limit check.
+
+Defaults to @samp{0}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} multiline-string-list listen
+Listens on the specified interfaces for connections.  Valid values are
+of the form @var{address}:@var{port}, where @var{address} is either an
+IPv6 address enclosed in brackets, an IPv4 address, or @code{*} to
+indicate all addresses.  Values can also be file names of local UNIX
+domain sockets.  The Listen directive is similar to the Port directive
+but allows you to restrict access to specific interfaces or networks.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer listen-back-log
+Specifies the number of pending connections that will be allowed.  This
+normally only affects very busy servers that have reached the MaxClients
+limit, but can also be triggered by large numbers of simultaneous

+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} boolean-or-non-negative-integer preserve-job-files
+Specifies whether job files (documents) are preserved after a job is
+printed.  If a numeric value is specified, job files are preserved for
+the indicated number of seconds after printing.  Otherwise a boolean
+value applies indefinitely.
+
+Defaults to @samp{86400}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} boolean-or-non-negative-integer preserve-job-history
+Specifies whether the job history is preserved after a job is printed.
+If a numeric value is specified, the job history is preserved for the
+indicated number of seconds after printing.  If @code{#t}, the job
+history is preserved until the MaxJobs limit is reached.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#t}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer reload-timeout
+Specifies the amount of time to wait for job completion before
+restarting the scheduler.

+Defaults to @samp{30}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} string rip-cache
+Specifies the maximum amount of memory to use when converting documents
+into bitmaps for a printer.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"128m"}.

+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} string server-admin
+Specifies the email address of the server administrator.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"root@@localhost.localdomain"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} host-name-list-or-* server-alias
+The ServerAlias directive is used for HTTP Host header validation when
+clients connect to the scheduler from external interfaces.  Using the
+special name @code{*} can expose your system to known browser-based DNS
+rebinding attacks, even when accessing sites through a firewall.  If the
+auto-discovery of alternate names does not work, we recommend listing
+each alternate name with a ServerAlias directive instead of using
+@code{*}.
+
+Defaults to @samp{*}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} string server-name
+Specifies the fully-qualified host name of the server.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"localhost"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} server-tokens server-tokens
+Specifies what information is included in the Server header of HTTP
+responses.  @code{None} disables the Server header.  @code{ProductOnly}
+reports @code{CUPS}.  @code{Major} reports @code{CUPS 2}.  @code{Minor}
+reports @code{CUPS 2.0}.  @code{Minimal} reports @code{CUPS 2.0.0}.
+@code{OS} reports @code{CUPS 2.0.0 (@var{uname})} where @var{uname} is
+the output of the @code{uname} command.  @code{Full} reports @code{CUPS
+2.0.0 (@var{uname}) IPP/2.0}.
+
+Defaults to @samp{Minimal}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} string set-env
+Set the specified environment variable to be passed to child processes.
+
+Defaults to @samp{"variable value"}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} multiline-string-list ssl-listen
+Listens on the specified interfaces for encrypted connections.  Valid
+values are of the form @var{address}:@var{port}, where @var{address} is
+either an IPv6 address enclosed in brackets, an IPv4 address, or
+@code{*} to indicate all addresses.
+
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} ssl-options ssl-options
+Sets encryption options.  By default, CUPS only supports encryption
+using TLS v1.0 or higher using known secure cipher suites.  The
+@code{AllowRC4} option enables the 128-bit RC4 cipher suites, which are
+required for some older clients that do not implement newer ones.  The
+@code{AllowSSL3} option enables SSL v3.0, which is required for some
+older clients that do not support TLS v1.0.
+
+Defaults to @samp{()}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} boolean strict-conformance?
+Specifies whether the scheduler requires clients to strictly adhere to
+the IPP specifications.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.

+
+@deftypevr {@code{cups-configuration} parameter} boolean web-interface?
+Specifies whether the web interface is enabled.
+
+Defaults to @samp{#f}.
+@end deftypevr
+
+At this point you're probably thinking ``oh dear, Guix manual, I like
+you but you can stop already with the configuration options''.  Indeed.
+However, one more point: it could be that you have an existing
+@code{cupsd.conf} that you want to use.  In that case, you can pass an
+@code{opaque-cups-configuration} as the configuration of a
+@code{cups-service-type}.
+
+Available @code{opaque-cups-configuration} fields are:
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} package cups
+The CUPS package.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} string cupsd.conf
+The contents of the @code{cupsd.conf}, as a string.
+@end deftypevr
+
+@deftypevr {@code{opaque-cups-configuration} parameter} string cups-files.conf
+The contents of the @code{cups-files.conf} file, as a string.
+@end deftypevr
+
+For example, if your @code{cupsd.conf} and @code{cups-files.conf} are in
+strings of the same name, you could instantiate a CUPS service like
+this:
+
+@example
+(service cups-service-type
+         (opaque-cups-configuration
+           (cupsd.conf cupsd.conf)
+           (cups-files.conf cups-files.conf)))
+@end example
