ENABLE(1)                            SysV                            ENABLE(1)



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(1).  Use lpstat(1) to find the status of printers.

     disable deactivates the named printers, disabling them from printing
     requests taken by lp(1).  By default, any requests that are currently
     printing on the designated printers are reprinted in their entirety
     either on the same printer or on another member of the same class.  Use
     lpstat(1) to find the status of printers.

OPTIONS FOR DISABLE ONLY
     -c        Cancels 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, a default reason is used.  Reason is
               reported by lpstat(1).
