Where does CUPS store the list of printers?

Question

linux

Can you tell me where CUPS stores printer settings? As a result, it is not clear to me why 97 percent of printers disappeared on one of the servers. On the second, the same printers are configured. I would like to somehow transfer the settings. The printers.conf file contains only a few printers, on both servers. CUPS shows 102 printers, but printers.conf shows 7 printers. Therefore, transferring the file to another server does not help.
UPD. Problem solved. The network fell, CUPS, unable to find a hundred printers, collapsed by killing the printers.conf file, and on another server CUPS used the printers of the first server, so it showed 100, but in fact there were a couple of real ones. An old backup of the server was found and the entire /etc/cups folder was transferred from it. Thank you all for your help.

Answer 1

The list of printers is stored in /etc/cups/printers.conf, only ppd files are stored in /etc/cups/ppd

Answer 2

If my memory serves me right, information about printers is in /etc/cups/ppd, try to copy from the second server, and reboot CUPS
