NAME

       cupsaccept/cupsreject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination

SYNOPSIS

       cupsaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
       cupsreject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason  ]
       destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

       cupsaccept  instructs  the  printing system to accept print jobs to the
       specified destinations.

       cupsreject instructs the printing system to reject print  jobs  to  the
       specified  destinations.  The  -r  option sets the reason for rejecting
       print jobs. If not specified the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by both cupsaccept and cupsreject:

       -E
            Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
            Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.

       -h hostname[:port]
            Chooses an alternate server.

       -r "reason"
            Sets the reason string  that  is  shown  for  a  printer  that  is
            rejecting jobs.

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  CUPS  versions of accept and reject 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.
