ENABLE ( I ) ENABLE (!)
NAME
enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
SYNOPSIS
enable printers
disable [ -c ] [ -r[ reason ]] printers
DESCRIPTION
Enable activates the named printers , enabling them to print
requests taken by lp (l). Use lpstat(l) to find the status of
printers.
Disable deactivates the named printers , disabling them from
printing requests taken by lp (l). By default, any requests that are
currently printing on the designated printers will be reprinted in
their entirety either on the same printer or on another member of
the same class. Use lpstat(l) to find the status of printers.
Options useful with disable are:
-c Cancel any requests that are currently printing on
any of the designated printers.
-r[ reason ] Associates a reason with the deactivation of the
printers. This reason applies to all printers mentioned
up to the next -r option. If the -r option is
not present or the -r option is given without a reason,
then a default reason will be used. Reason is
reported by lpstat(l).
