cupsaccept/cupsreject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination
cupsaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
cupsreject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)
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".
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.
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.
