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	printers,  enabling  them to print requests submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer
       server.

       The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from printing requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests  that
       are  currently  printing  on printer are reprinted in their entirety either on printer or another member of the same class of printers. The
       disable command must be run on the print server.

       Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.

       Generally, enable and disable are run on the print server to control local print queues. Under some configurations, they can also be run on
       client systems when IPP is being used to communicate between client and server.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported for use with disable:

       -c	      Cancels  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 is silently ignored.

       -W	      Waits 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 is silently ignored.

       -r [reason]    Assigns 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.

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported for both enable and disable:

       printer	  The  name  of  the  printer  to be enabled or disabled. Specify printer using atomic or URI-style (scheme://endpoint) names. See
		  printers.conf(4) regarding the naming conventions for destinations.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	   Successful completion.

       non-zero    An error occurred.

FILES

       /etc/printers.conf      System printer configuration database
