 Name

    accept, reject - allows/prevents print requests to a lineprinter or class
    of printers

 Syntax

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

 Description

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

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

    -r [ reason ]
                Associates a reason with disabling (using disable(C)) the
                printer.  The reason applies to all printers listed 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 is
                used. reason is reported by lpstat(C).  Please see disable(C)
                for an example of reason syntax.
