SAMBA-BGQD(8)

NAME
samba-bgqd - This is an internal helper program performing asynchronous printing-related tasks

SYNOPSIS

samba-bgqd [-D|--daemon] [-i|--interactive] [-F|--foreground] [--no-process-group] [-d <debug level>] [--debug-stdout] [--configfile=<configuration file>] [--option=<name>=<value>] [-l|--log-basename <log directory>] [--ready-signal-fd <fd>] [--parent-watch-fd <fd>]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of the samba(7) suite.

samba-bgqd is not intended to be invoked directly by users.

Likewise, while samba-bgqd is also not intended to be run manually by system administrators, on systems with a large number of printers configured via CUPS, it is recommended to run samba-bgqd as a systemd service to improve performance and responsiveness of printing operations.
