Why each option
CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) provides specific command-line tools for administrative tasks, including configuring printers.
`lpc` (line printer control) is a utility used for controlling LPR/LPD print queues and is not the standard tool for configuring CUPS.
The `lpadmin` command is the primary command-line tool used to configure CUPS printers, classes, and options, allowing administrators to add, modify, or delete printers and their settings.
`lpr` is used to submit print jobs to a CUPS printer, not to configure the printer itself.
`lpd` (line printer daemon) is the daemon component of the LPR/LPD printing system, not a configuration tool for CUPS.
`lpctrl` is not a standard or recognized command for configuring CUPS.
