<h2><a name='COMPATIBILITY'>Compatibility</a></h2>
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 <i>disable</i> and
<i>enable</i>. They have been renamed to avoid conflicts with the
<i>bash(1)</i> build-in command of the same name.
<p>The CUPS versions of <i>disable</i> and <i>enable</i> 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.
