Enable & Disable:

Revoke permissions to execute the script. +x to enable.

chmod -x "/.local/bin/bb-tracker-printer.sh"

Troubleshooting:

• Check executable permissons on each script.
• /dev/usb/lp1 may change, I print to lp0-2 to avoid this issue. You need to add your user to the group to have printing permissions.
