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 the named printer s, enabling them to print requests submitted by the lp command. If the printer is remote, the command enables only the transfer of requests to the remote system. Run the enable command on the remote system to activate the printer.

(Run lpstat -p to get the status of printer s.)

The disable command deactivates the named printer, disabling it from printing requests submitted by lp . By default, any requests that are currently printing on the designated printer(s) are reprinted in their entirety either on the same printer or on another member of the same class of printers. If the printer is remote, this command stops only the transmission of jobs to the remote system. Run the disable command on the remote system to disable the printer.

(Run lpstat -p to get the status of printer s.)

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 finished 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.
