The following options are supported by both cupsaccept and cupsreject:
-E Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

-h hostname[:port]
Chooses an alternate server.
-r "reason"

CONFORMING TO
The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V print-
ing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively. 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.
Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password de-
pending on the printing system configuration.
