          Specifies the printers to be activated or deactivated.

     -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.

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 will
     be 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.
