Synopsis

accept destinations

reject [-rreason] destinations

Description

accept allows the queuing of print requests for the named destinations. A destination can be either a printer or a class of printers. Run lpstat -a to find the status of destinations.

reject prevents queuing of print requests for the named destinations. A destination can be either a printer or a class of printers. Run lpstat -a to find the status of destinations.

-r reason: Assign a reason for rejection of requests. This reason applies to all destinations specified. The reason is reported by lpstat -a. It may contain supplementary code set characters, as defined in the locale specified in the LC_CTYPE environment variable (see LANG on environ(5)). If it contains blanks, reason must be enclosed in quotes. The default reason is ``unknown reason'' for existing destinations, and ``new destination'' for destinations just added to the system but not yet accepting requests.
