enable(1)                                               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 print-
                   ing 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).
