NAME
       cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS
       cupsdisable  [  -E  ]  [	-U username ] [	-c ] [ -h server[:port]	] [ -r
       reason ]	[ --hold ] destination(s)
       cupsenable [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -c ]	[ -h server[:port] ]  [	 --re-
       lease ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION
       cupsenable starts the named printers or classes while cupsdisable stops
       the named printers or classes.

OPTIONS
       The following options may be used:

       -E   Forces encryption of the connection	to the server.

       -U username
	    Uses the specified username	when connecting	to the server.

       -c   Cancels all	jobs on	the named destination.

       -h server[:port]
	    Uses the specified server and port.

       --hold
	    Holds  remaining  jobs  on the named printer.  Useful for allowing
	    the	current	job to complete	before performing maintenance.

       -r "reason"
	    Sets the message associated	with the stopped state.	 If no	reason
	    is specified then the message is set to "Reason Unknown".

       --release
	    Releases pending jobs for printing.	 Use after running cupsdisable
	    with the --hold option to resume printing.

CONFORMING TO
       Unlike  the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con-
       tain any	printable character except SPACE, TAB,	"/",  or  "#".	 Also,
       printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

       The System V versions of	these commands are disable and enable, respec-
       tively.	 They  have  been  renamed to avoid conflicts with the bash(1)
       built-in	commands of the	same names.

       The CUPS	versions of disable and	enable may ask the user	for an	access
       password	 depending on the printing system configuration.  This differs
       from the	System V versions which	require	the root user to execute these
       commands.
