11client.conf - client configuration file for cups (deprecated)
12<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
13The <b>client.conf</b> file configures the CUPS client and is normally located in the <i>/etc/cups</i> and/or <i>~/.cups</i> directories.
14Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.
15<p><b>Note:</b> Starting with OS X 10.7, this file is only used by command-line and X11 applications.
16The <b>ServerName</b> directive is not supported on OS X at all.
