That's a good question.. I couldn't find anything about.

Thanks for the help. I've searched for such feature, but just find this
configuration parameter:
# Purpose: minimum number of printable characters for printable check
#   default ml=0  (INTEGER)
I don't think this will solve the problem, because probably this check
is made after the spooled file was received..

Thanks again for your support,
Leonardo
