[mod.computers.vax] Generic print queues.

We have two terminal printers queues, TTH2 and TTH3, both have been
initialized with the /ENABLE_GENERIC qualifier.  To distribute the 
printing load evenly, I set up a generic print queue called STU$PRINT 
using the /GERNERIC=(TTH2, TTH3) qualifier.  I then set the queue protection
on TTH2 and TTH3 to (S:WRED,O:D,G,W) to stop users from using  PRINT/QUEUE
to bypass the generic queue.  

Every thing was fine until we upgraded to VMS 4.3.  Jobs were getting into my
generic queue okay, but they would just sit there in a pending state. I found
that to get them to print I had to set the protection, on H2 and H3, to W:W.
Needless to say, this made the generic queue quite useless since it enabled
users to use PRINT/QUEUE to send to either printer. 

Does anyone out there in vacuum land know what I have to do to get H2 and H3
to accept jobs from STU$PRINT and not be open to world write access?
