NAME
       (cups)disable/(cups)enable - stop/start printers and classes

SYNOPSIS
       disable [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
       cupsdisable [ -E ] [ -c ] [ -h server ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
       enable [ -E ] destination(s)
       cupsenable [ -E ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION
       enable or cupsenable starts the named printers or classes.

       disable  or cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes.  The following options may be
       used:

       -c
            Cancels all jobs on the named destination.

       -r [ reason ]
            Sets the message associated with the stopped state. If no reason  is  specified  then
            the message is set to "Reason Unknown".

       The -E option forces encryption when connecting to the server.

COMPATIBILITY
       The  CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for an access password depending
       on the printing system configuration.  This differs  from  the  System  V  versions  which
       require the root user to execute these commands.
