ENABLE(1)                       Printing Tools                       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).
