NAME
enable, disable - enable/disable LP printers
SYNOPSIS
enable printers
disable [-c][-r
[reason ]] printers
DESCRIPTION
The
enable command activates the named printers , enabling them to print requests taken by
lp. Use
lpstat to find the status of printers (see lp (1) and lpstat (1)).
disable deactivates the named printers , disabling them from printing requests taken by
lp.By
default, any requests that are currently printing on the designated printers are 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.
Options
disable recognizes the following options:
-c Cancel any requests that are currently printing on any of the designated printers.
-r[reason] Associate 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, a default reason is used. reason is reported by
lpstat. The maximum length of the reason message is 80 bytes. reason message
of length greater than 80 bytes is truncated to 80 bytes.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed.
If
LANG is not specified or is null, it defaults to C (see lang(5)).
If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, all internationalization variables default
to
C (see environ (5)).
International Code Set Support
Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported.
EXAMPLES
Enable printer
snowwhite to accept requests:
enable snowwhite
Deactivate printer snowwhite and cancel any logged jobs:
disable -c snowwhite
WARNINGS
If the restrict cancel feature (selected by the lpadmin -orc option — see lpadmin (1M)) is enabled, and
the user is neither administrator nor the owner of the currently printing request on the designated
printer, disable ignores the -c option.
enable and disable perform their operation on the local system only.
