# Printers (cups.plugin)
`cups.plugin` collects Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) metrics.
## Prerequisites
This plugin needs a running local CUPS daemon (`cupsd`). This plugin does not need any configuration. Supports cups since version 1.7.
If you installed Netdata using our native packages, you will have to additionally install `netdata-plugin-cups` to use this plugin for data collection. It is not installed by default due to the large number of dependencies it requires.
## Charts
`cups.plugin` provides one common section `destinations` and one section per destination.
> Destinations in CUPS represent individual printers or classes (collections or pools) of printers (<https://www.cups.org/doc/cupspm.html#working-with-destinations>)
The section `server` provides these charts:
1. **destinations by state**
- idle
- printing
- stopped
2. **destinations by options**
- total
- accepting jobs
- shared
3. **total job number by status**
- pending
- processing
- held
4. **total job size by status**
- pending
- processing
- held
For each destination the plugin provides these charts:
1. **job number by status**
- pending
- held
- processing
2. **job size by status**
- pending
- held
- processing
At the moment only job status pending, processing, and held are reported because we do not have a method to collect stopped, canceled, aborted and completed jobs which scales.
