Restarting CUPS
Authored by: Anonymous on Aug 31, '02 04:52:42PM

An easier way to do this is to deselect printer sharing in the System preferences and then reselect. This turns CUPS off and then on again. No need to reboot.

Restarting CUPS
Authored by: nevlyn on Sep 02, '02 02:43:46PM

This restarts the CUPS daemon but does not always re-read the client.conf file. In fact, if you don't mind a slight delay when the printer dialog appears and are worried about security, you don't have to turn on printer sharing at all (the Print Center still uses the client configuration). In this case, a reboot (or forced killing of the background cups client process started - I assume - by the system) is needed.
