Public bug reported: Invoking `/usr/sbin/cupsd -f` simply prints ~`Terminated`[1]. Assuming there's no output about the reason at all (i.e. neither to stdout or stderr nor to configured logging facilities) I'd suggest to provide it - it's overkill to dive into the manual to figure out why the process was killed - and assuming the reason is logged somewhere, it'd be nice to have a switch (e.g. `--debug-stdout`) to log to stdout regardless of which logging facility is configured in the configuration files.
