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 rea-
       son 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 configu-
       ration. This differs from the System V versions which require the root user to execute these commands.
