35 \fIcupsenable\fR starts the named printers or classes.
37 \fIcupsdisable\fR stops the named printers or classes. The
38 following options may be used:
42 Forces encryption of the connection to the server.
46 Uses the specified username when connecting to the server.
50 Cancels all jobs on the named destination.
54 Uses the specified server and port.
58 Holds remaining jobs on the named printer. Useful for allowing the current
59 job to complete before performing maintenance.
63 Sets the message associated with the stopped state. If no reason is specified
64 then the message is set to "Reason Unknown".
68 Releases pending jobs for printing. Use after running \fIcupsdisable\fR with
69 the \fI--hold\fR option to resume printing.
71 Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to
72 contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".
73 Also, printer and class names are \fInot\fR case-sensitive.
75 The System V versions of these commands are \fIdisable\fR and
76 \fIenable\fR. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
77 \fIbash(1)\fR build-in commands of the same name.
79 The CUPS versions of \fIdisable\fR and \fIenable\fR may ask the
80 user for an access password depending on the printing system
81 configuration. This differs from the System V versions which
82 require the root user to execute these commands.
