DESCRIPTION

16       The  enable command activates printers, enabling them to print requests
17       submitted by the lp command. enable must be run on the printer server.
18
19
20       The disable command deactivates printers, disabling them from  printing
21       requests submitted by the lp command. By default, any requests that are
22       currently printing on printer are reprinted in their entirety either on
23       printer  or  another  member of the same class of printers. The disable
24       command must be run on the print server.
25
26
27       Use lpstat -p to check the status of printers.
28
29
30       Generally, enable and disable are run on the print  server  to  control
31       local  print queues. Under some configurations, they can also be run on
32       client systems when IPP is being used to communicate between client and
33       server.
34

OPTIONS

36       The following options are supported for use with disable:
37
38       -c             Cancels  any  requests  that  are  currently printing on
39                      printer. This option cannot be used with the -W  option.
40                      If  the  printer  is  remote,  the -c option is silently
41                      ignored.
42
43
44       -W             Waits until the request currently being printed is  fin‐
45                      ished  before  disabling  printer. This option cannot be
46                      used with the -c option. If the printer is  remote,  the
47                      -W option is silently ignored.
48
49
50       -r [reason]    Assigns  a  reason  for the disabling of the printer(s).
51                      This reason applies to all printers specified. This rea‐
52                      son  is  reported by lpstat -p. Enclose reason in quotes
53                      if it contains blanks. The  default  reason  is  unknown
54                      reason for the existing printer, and "new printer" for a
55                      printer added to the system but not yet enabled.
