I think it's fairly important that if this happens, the printer still prints -something-, even if it's a "Bad user. No biscuit." page (a la the way ifhp can handle unknown formats). Otherwise, users are just going to try to print over and over because they stop trusting the spoolers to deliver their jobs to the printer. Then they'll leave the extra 5 copies on the printer. -willie ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST The address you post from MUST be your subscription address If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body.
