73 Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to
74 contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB,
"/", or
"#".
75 Also, printer and class names are
<i>not
</i> case-sensitive.
76 <p>The System V versions of these commands are
<i>disable
</i> and
77 <i>enable
</i>. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
78 <i>bash(
1)
</i> build-in commands of the same name.
79 <p>The CUPS versions of
<i>disable
</i> and
<i>enable
</i> 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.
