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 <i>not</i> case-sensitive.
<p>The System V versions of these commands are <b>disable</b> and <b>enable</b>, respectively.
They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
<b>bash</b>(1)
build-in commands of the same names.
<p>The CUPS versions of <b>disable</b> and <b>enable</b> 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.
