Hold and release CUPS print jobs from command line

I figured it out by myself:

do

lpq

to get the job id and then

lp -i job-id -H resume

See this page for a reference. See also this one.

    Is is possible to hold and release CUPS print jobs from command line? How to do it?

    I tried cupsenable:

    sudo cupsenable --release myprinter
    

    but it didn't work.

    Debian: I didn't have lpq by default, but lpstat showed the job numbers.
