ENABLE(1)                DOMAIN/IX SYS5                 ENABLE(1)



NAME
     enable, disable - enable or disable LP printers

USAGE
     enable printers
     disable [ -c ] [-r[``reason'']] printers

DESCRIPTION
     Enable activates the named printers, enabling them to print
     requests from lp(1).  Use lpstat(1) to find the status of
     printers.

     Disable deactivates the named printers, preventing them from
     printing requests from lp(1).  By default, any requests that
     are currently printing on the designated printers will be
     reprinted in their entirety either on the same printer (when
     it is re-enabled) or on another member of the same class of
     printer.  Use lpstat(1) to find the status of printers.

OPTIONS
     These options apply only to disable.

     -c        Cancel any requests that are currently printing on
               any of the designated printers.

     [-r[``reason'']]
               Give a reason why the printers are disabled. (The
               reason must appear in double quotes.) 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 the sys-
               tem supplies a default message that will be
               printed, usually, ``reason unknown''.  Reason is
               reported by lpstat(1).
