Which file inside the CUPS configuration directory contains the settings of the printers?
To determine which file inside the CUPS configuration directory contains the settings of the printers, the correct file is 'printers.conf'. This file is responsible for storing the configuration and settings of individual printers connected to the CUPS server. The other files serve different purposes, such as 'cupsd.conf' which configures the CUPS scheduler, but it does not specifically store printer settings.
C is correct take a look at https://linux.die.net/man/5/printers.conf
why not cupsd.conf, the file exists by default under /etc/cups. printers.conf doesn't
Because the answer is wrong. Simple, as, that. Printers.conf doesn't exist on your linux machine because you silly goose never added or deleted a printer, otherwise cupsd would've created that file automatically. The correct answer is and always was printers.conf.
NAME cupsd.conf - server configuration file for cups DESCRIPTION The cupsd.conf file configures the CUPS scheduler, cupsd(8). It is normally located in the /etc/cups directory. Each line in the file can be a configuration directive, a blank line, or a comment. Configura‐ tion directives typically consist of a name and zero or more values separated by whitespace. The configuration directive name and values are case-insensitive. Comment lines start with the # character.
