SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/accept destinations
/usr/lib/reject [−r[reason]] destinations

DESCRIPTION

Accept allows lp(1) to accept requests for the named destinations. A destination can be either a printer or a class of printers.  Use lpstat(1) to find the status of destinations.

Reject prevents lp(1) from accepting requests for the named destinations. A destination can be either a printer or a class of printers.  Use lpstat(1) to find the status of destinations. The following option is useful with reject:

−r[reason] Associates a reason with preventing lp(1) from accepting requests. This reason applies to all printers mentioned up to the next −r option.  Reason is reported by lp(1) when users direct requests to the named destinations and by lpstat(1). If the −r option is not present or the −r option is given without a reason, a default reason is used.  The maximum length of the reason message is 80 bytes. 

WARNINGS

Accept and reject perform their operation on the local system only.
