Does the CUPS service restart when I add, remove, or modify a printer in RHEL

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When I add a printer in the CUPS environment, does the system restart the spooler (scheduler)? I am trying to confirm if adding, modifying or removing a printer in our RHEL system will not affect the print spooler and print jobs currently in progress will not restart at first page.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
  • Common Unix Printing System (CUPS)
