Let me get this straight:
1. AF can no longer be a filter, it can only be a file or host%port
2. AS can be a filter and uses an exit status to say yes or no to printing
3. AE can be a filter but only gets the accounting end bit from LPRng
4. The OF and IF filter get a file (if anything) on file descriptor 3 never
the AS or AE filters.
5. ifhp can run a filter as its accounting and will get the log lines.
The filter is opened once per log line.
Can I use the ifhp accounting filter to abort a job? I'm wondering
whether that's the place to do the following:
1. If the student is over quota then generate an "over quota" sheet
on the printer and abort their job.
2. If the student is under quota then printer a banner with their quota
on it and then print their job
3. At the end of the job update the databases.
I wasn't able to do this before because the AF filter didn't have access to
the printer, but maybe that isn't true for the ifhp acounting script?
