/etc/gtklp/deny/
$HOME/.gtklp/
Just put an empty file with the name of the printer the user should see by
default to
accept, put an empty file with the name of the printer the
user should never see to
deny.
The
accept values can be overwritten by the user, the
deny values
can't.
SPECIAL¶

If called as lpq, enable, disable, accept, or reject, GtkLPQ acts on console
like these tools and has some other command-line parameters, see above.
