A "Cannot read...." would be more useful than a hang without messages thought...

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.
