cups-config: Show the location of CUPS' data directory.
$ cups-config --datadir
try on your machine

The command "cups-config --datadir" is used to retrieve the directory path where the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) data files are stored.

CUPS is a printing system used in many Unix-like operating systems to manage printing. It includes various configuration files, templates, drivers, and other data files necessary for its proper operation.

By executing "cups-config --datadir" in the terminal, the command will return the directory path to the location where these CUPS data files are stored. This information can be useful when needing to access or modify specific files within the CUPS configuration.
