+
+## Overview
+
+Monitor CUPS performance for achieving optimal printing system operations. Monitor job statuses, queue lengths, and error rates to ensure smooth printing tasks.
+
+The plugin uses CUPS shared library to connect and monitor the server.
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+The plugin needs to access the server. Netdata sets permissions during installation time to reach the server through its library.
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+The plugin detects when CUPS server is running and tries to connect to it.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per CUPS instance
+
+
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| cups.dests_state | idle, printing, stopped | dests |
+| cups.dests_option | total, acceptingjobs, shared | dests |
+| cups.job_num | pending, held, processing | jobs |
+| cups.job_size | pending, held, processing | KB |
+
+### Per destination
+
+
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| cups.destination_job_num | pending, held, processing | jobs |
+| cups.destination_job_size | pending, held, processing | KB |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+There are no alerts configured by default for this integration.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Minimum setup
+
+The CUPS server must be installed and running. If you installed `netdata` using a package manager, it is also necessary to install the package `netdata-plugin-cups`.
+
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
+Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:cups]` section within that file.
+
+The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
+
+```ini
+[section1]
+ option1 = some value
+ option2 = some other value
+
+[section2]
+ option3 = some third value
+```
+You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the
+Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory).
+
+```bash
+cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata
+sudo ./edit-config netdata.conf
+```
