|---|
| 26 | Set the cost per page, and optionally per job, for |
|---|
| 27 | printing to the specified printers. If both are to be |
|---|
| 28 | set, separate them with a comma. Floating point and |
|---|
| 29 | negative values are allowed. |
|---|
| 30 | .TP |
|---|
| 31 | \fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-cups\fR |
|---|
| 32 | Tell CUPS to either start or stop managing the |

|---|
| 34 | .TP |
|---|
| 35 | \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-delete\fR |
|---|
| 36 | Delete the specified printers. Also purge the print |
|---|
| 37 | quota entries and printing history matching the |
|---|
| 38 | specified printers. |

| 39 | .TP |
|---|
| 40 | \fB\-D\fR DESCRIPTION, \fB\-\-description\fR=\fIDESCRIPTION\fR |

|---|
| 42 | .TP |
|---|
| 43 | \fB\-g\fR GROUPS, \fB\-\-groups\fR=\fIGROUPS\fR |
|---|
| 44 | If the \fB\-\-remove\fR option is not used, the default action |
|---|
| 45 | is to add the specified printers to the specified |
|---|
| 46 | printers groups. Otherwise they are removed from these |
|---|
| 47 | groups. The specified printers groups must already |
|---|
| 48 | exist, and should be created beforehand just like |
|---|
| 49 | normal printers with this very command. |
|---|
| 50 | .TP |
|---|
| 51 | \fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-list\fR |
|---|
| 52 | Display detailed informations about the specified |
|---|
| 53 | printers. |

|---|
| 61 | \fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-nopassthrough\fR |
|---|
| 62 | Deactivate passthrough mode for the specified |

|---|
| 64 | which print jobs are accounted for, and are checked |
|---|
| 65 | against printing quotas and available credits. |
|---|
| 66 | .TP |
|---|
| 67 | \fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-passthrough\fR |
|---|
| 68 | Activate passthrough mode for the specified printers. |
|---|
| 69 | In this mode, jobs sent to these printers are not |
|---|
| 70 | accounted for. This can be useful for exams during |
|---|
| 71 | which no user should be charged for his printouts. |
|---|
| 72 | .TP |
|---|
| 73 | \fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-remove\fR |

|---|
| 83 | Would create three printers named 'hp2100', and 'hp2200' in PyKota's |
|---|
| 84 | database, while telling CUPS to route all print jobs through PyKota for |
|---|
| 85 | these printers. Each of them would have 'HP Printer' as its description. |
|---|
| 86 | Printing to any of them would cost 0.05 credit per page, plus 0.1 credit |
|---|
| 87 | for each job. |
|---|
| 88 | .IP |
|---|
| 89 | pkprinters \fB\-\-delete\fR "*" |
|---|
| 90 | Would delete all existing printers and matching print quota entries and |
