ENABLE(1)                                               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 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.  Options useful with disable are:

          -c            Cancel 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, then a
                        default reason will be used.  Reason is
                        reported by lpstat(1).
