NAME
       accept/reject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination

SYNOPSIS
       accept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
       reject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION
       accept instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.

       reject  instructs  the  printing  system  to  reject print jobs to the specified destinations. The -r
       option sets the reason for rejecting print jobs. If not specified  the  reason  defaults  to  "Reason
       Unknown".

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported by both accept and reject:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
            Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.

       -h hostname[:port]
            Chooses an alternate server.

       -r "reason"
            Sets the reason string that is shown for a printer that is rejecting jobs.

COMPATIBILITY
       Unlike  the  System  V  printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character
       except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".  Also, printer and class names are not case-sensitive.

       The CUPS versions of accept and reject may ask the user for  an  access  password  depending  on  the
       printing system configuration. This differs from the System V versions which require the root user to
       execute these commands.
