printer-name Disable queuing of new jobs. If the printer's started, it will continue to print any jobs remaining in the queue. The superuser (root) can always submit jobs, even to a disabled queue. This command is useful while you're testing a new printer or filter installation: disable the queue and submit jobs as root. Other users won't be able to submit jobs until you complete your testing and re-enable the queue with the enable command.
When a function is disabled, it is not allowed to occur and if it is occurring, it is terminated. Regardless of other conditions, the function will not be activated. For example, even if AC power is present, if the charger is disabled, the unit will not charge. The charger must be enabled. See “Enable” in the glossary.
