.SH 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 \fInot\fR case-sensitive.

.LP

The System V versions of these commands are \fBdisable\fR and \fBenable\fR, respectively.

They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the

.BR bash (1)

build-in commands of the same names.

.LP

The CUPS versions of \fBdisable\fR and \fBenable\fR 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.
