CONFORMING TO
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,
respectively. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
bash(1) built-in commands of the same names.
The CUPS versions of
disable and
enable 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.
