LPRng: restricting direct access to specific queue

[Phillip Stark]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with the following situation. I have 2 print queues, say, q1 and q2. I would like users to send jobs to q1 which will do some processing on the job and then pass it to q2 which will send it off to the printer. That part's no problem. The part I'm getting stuck on is that I'd like to prevent users from printing directly to q2. lpd.perms seems to have some options that would help but I don't want access restrictions to apply to all queues just specific ones. Is there a printcap option I'm missing that would help here? What about a filter; is there info in the control file that would allow a filter to distinguish between a job that was passed to q2 from q1 and a job that was sent directly to q2?

Thanks,
Phillip
