cupsdisable, cupsenable - stop/start printers and classes

       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.
