38 The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V
39 printing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively. Unlike
40 the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any
41 printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also, printer and
42 class names are not case-sensitive.
43
44 Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password de‐
45 pending on the printing system configuration.
