Uninstall CUPS Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The cups package can be removed with the following command:

$ sudo zypper remove cups

Rationale

If the system does not need to print jobs or accept print jobs from other systems, it is recommended that CUPS be removed to reduce the potential attack surface.
