  NAME

    enable, disable - Enables/disables LP printers

  SYNOPSIS

    enable printer ...

    disable [-c] [-r[reason]] printer ...

  FLAGS

    -c           Cancels any requests that are currently printing 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 flag.  If the -r flag is not present or the -r flag is
                 given without a reason, then a default reason will be used.
                 Thereason is reported by lpstat.

  DESCRIPTION

    The enable command activates the named printers, enabling them to print
    requests taken by lp.  Use lpstat to find the status of printers.

    The disable command deactivates the named printers, disabling them from
    printing requests taken by lp.  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 to find the status of printers.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To enable the printer named ilp811, enter the following command:

        enable ilp811


    2.  To cancel all requests for the printer epson80:

        disable -c -r "printer exploded" epson80

        This command will cancel all request for the printer epson80, and
        disable the printer.  Entering a subsequent lpstat command will show
        ``printer exploded'' as the reason for the printer being disabled.
