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  fin‐
		      ished  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 rea‐
		      son  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:

		  See printers.conf(4) regarding the  naming  conventions  for
		  destinations.
