NAME

     cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS

     cupsdisable [ -E ] [-U username ] [ -c ] [ -h  server[:port]
     ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
     cupsenable [ -E ] [-U username ] [ -c ] [ -h server[:port] ]
     destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

     cupsenable starts the named printers or classes.

     cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes.   The  fol-
     lowing options may be used:

     -E
          Forces encryption of the connection to the server.

     -U username
          Uses the specified  username  when  connecting  to  the
          server.

     -c
          Cancels all jobs on the named destination.

     -h server[:port]
          Uses the specified server and port.

     -r "reason"
          Sets the message associated with the stopped state.  If
          no reason is specified then the message is set to "Rea-
          son Unknown".

COMPATIBILITY

     Unlike the System V printing  system,  CUPS  allows  printer
     names  to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB,
     "/", or "#".  Also, printer and class names  are  not  case-
     sensitive.

     The System V versions of  these  commands  are  disable  and
     enable.  They  have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
     bash(1) build-in command of the same name.

     The CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for
     an  access  password depending on the printing system confi-
     guration.  This differs from the  System  V  versions  which
     require the root user to execute these commands.
