NAME

       disable, enable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS

       disable [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
       enable [ -E ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

       enable starts the named printers or classes.

       disable stops the named printers or classes.  The following options may be used:

       -c
	    Cancels all jobs on the named destination.

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

       The -E option forces encryption when connecting to the server.

COMPATIBILITY

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