accept(1M) System Administration Commands accept(1M)NAME
accept, reject - accept or reject print requests
SYNOPSISaccept destination...
reject [-r reason] destination...
DESCRIPTIONaccept allows the queueing of print requests for the named destina‐
tions.
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 des‐
tination.
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(1M)). Specify destination
using atomic name or URI-style (scheme://endpoint)
names. See printers.conf(4) for information regarding
the naming conventions for destinations.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
non-zero An error occurred.

SEE ALSOenable(1), lp(1), lpstat(1), lpadmin(1M), lpsched(1M), print‐
ers.conf(4), attributes(5)NOTESaccept 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.
