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).
