NAME
accept, reject - accept or reject print requests
SYNOPSIS
accept destination...
reject [
-r reason]
destination...
DESCRIPTION
accept allows the queueing of print requests for the named destinations.
reject prevents queueing of print requests for the named destinations.
Use
lpstat -a to check if destinations are accepting or rejecting print
requests.
Generally,
accept and
reject are run on the print server to control local
print queues. Under some configurations,
accept and
reject are run on
client systems when IPP is being used to communicate between client and
server.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported for
reject:
-r reason Assigns a reason for rejection of print requests for
destination. reason is reported by
lpstat -a. By default,
reason is
unknown reason for existing destinations, and
new printer for destinations added to the system but not yet accepting
requests. Enclose
reason in quotes if it contains blanks.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
destination The name of the destination accepting or rejecting print
requests. Destination specifies the name of a printer or
class of printers (see
lpadmin(8)). Specify
destination using atomic name or URI-style (scheme://endpoint) names.
See
printers.conf(5) for information regarding the naming
conventions for destinations.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.

lpsched(8)NOTES
accept and
reject affect only queueing on the print server's spooling
system. Requests made from a client system remain queued in the client
system's queueing mechanism until they are cancelled or accepted by the
print server's spooling system.
accept is CSI-enabled except for the
destination name.
When IPP is in use, the user is prompted for a passphrase if the remote
print service is configured to require authentication.
