cupsenable(8)                                    Apple Inc.                                    cupsenable(8)



NAME
       cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS
       cupsdisable [ -E ] [-U username ] [ -c ] [ -h server[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
       cupsenable [ -E ] [-U username ] [ -c ] [ -h server[:port] ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION
       cupsenable starts the named printers or classes.

       cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes.  The following options may be used:

       -E
            Forces encryption of the connection to the server.

       -U username
            Uses the specified username when connecting to the server.

       -c
            Cancels all jobs on the named destination.

       -h server[:port]
            Uses the specified server and port.

       -r "reason"
            Sets  the  message associated with the stopped state. If no reason is specified then the message
            is set to "Reason Unknown".

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  System V versions of these commands are disable and enable. They have been renamed to avoid con-flicts conflicts
       flicts with the bash(1) build-in command of the same name.

       The CUPS versions of disable and enable 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.
