NAME
       accept, reject - accept or reject print requests

SYNOPSIS
       accept destination...

       reject [-r reason] destination...

DESCRIPTION
       accept allows the queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       reject prevents queueing of print requests for the named destinations.

       Use lpstat -a to check if destinations are accepting or rejecting print requests.

       Generally,  accept  and	reject are run on the print server to control local print queues. Under some configurations, accept and reject are
       run on client systems when IPP is being used to communicate between client and server.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported for reject:

       -r reason    Assigns a reason for rejection of print requests for destination.

		    reason is reported by lpstat -a. By default, reason is unknown reason for existing destinations, and new printer for  destina-
		    tions added to the system but not yet accepting requests. Enclose reason in quotes if it contains blanks.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       destination    The  name  of the destination accepting or rejecting print requests. Destination specifies the name of a printer or class of
		      printers (see lpadmin(1M)). Specify destination using  atomic  name  or  URI-style  (scheme://endpoint)  names.  See  print-
		      ers.conf(4) for information regarding the naming conventions for destinations.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	   Successful completion.

       non-zero    An error occurred.

NOTES
       accept  and  reject  affect  only  queueing  on the print server's spooling system. Requests made from a client system remain queued in the
       client system's queueing mechanism until they are cancelled or accepted by the print server's spooling system.

       accept is CSI-enabled except for the destination name.

       When IPP is in use, the user is prompted for a passphrase if the remote print service is configured to require authentication.
