NAME
      enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/bin/enable printer ...
 
      /usr/bin/disable [ -c | -W ]  [  -r  [ reason ]  ]   printer
      ...
 


DESCRIPTION
      The enable command  activates  printers,  enabling  them  to
      print  requests  submitted by the lp command. enable must be
      run on the printer server.
 
      The disable command  deactivates  printers,  disabling  them
      from  printing  requests  submitted  by  the  lp command. By
      default, any requests that are currently printing on printer
      will  be  reprinted  in  their entirety either on printer or
      another member of the same class of  printers.  The  disable
      command must be run on the print server.
 
      Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.
 
      enable  and  disable  only  effect  queueing  on  the  print
      server's  spooling  system.  Executing these commands from a
      client system will have no effect on the server.
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported for use with disable:
 
      -c     Cancel any requests that are  currently  printing  on
            printer.  This  option  cannot  be  used  with  the -W
            option. If the printer is remote, the -c  option  will
            be silently ignored.
 
      -W    Wait until the request currently being printed is fin-
            ished  before disabling printer. This option cannot be
            used with the -c option. If the printer is remote, the
            -W option will be silently ignored.
 
      -r [reason]
            Assign a reason for the disabling of  the  printer(s).
            This  reason  applies  to all printers specified. This
            reason is reported by lpstat  -p.  Enclose  reason  in
            quotes  if  it  contains blanks. The default reason is
            unknown reason  for  the  existing  printer,  and  new
            printer  for a printer added to the system but not yet
            enabled.
