DESCRIPTION

cupsdisable stops the named printers or classes. The fol-
lowing options may be used:
-E
Forces encryption of the connection to the server.
-U username
Uses the specified username when connecting to the
server.
-c
Cancels all jobs on the named destination.
-h server[:port]
Uses the specified server and port.
-r "reason"

no reason is specified then the message is set to "Rea-
son Unknown".
COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer
names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB,
"/", or "#". Also, printer and class names are not case-
sensitive.
The System V versions of these commands are disable and
enable. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
bash(1) build-in command of the same name.
The CUPS versions of disable and enable may ask the user for
an access password depending on the printing system confi-
guration. This differs from the System V versions which
require the root user to execute these commands.
