reject
accept(8) Easy Software Products accept(8)
NAME
accept/reject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination
SYNOPSIS
accept destination(s)
reject [ -E ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
DESCRIPTION
accept instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.
reject instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the specified destinations. The -r option sets the reason for rejecting print
jobs. If not specified the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".
The -E option forces encryption when connecting to the server.
COMPATIBILITY
The CUPS versions of accept and reject 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.
