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

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

The cupsreject command 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.

CONFORMING TO

The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V
printing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively. 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.

Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password
depending on the printing system configuration.
