[comp.unix.questions] Restricting printer access

weening@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU (Joe Weening) (06/01/90)

In article <1990May31.173703.26284@Neon.Stanford.EDU> I asked:

   I'd like to set things up so that only users in a certain group can
   send files to printers.  What is the best way to do this?  This is for
   a 4.3bsd-based system with /usr/ucb/lpr.

Several people pointed out the "rg" option in /etc/printcap, which is
just what I was looking for.  Thanks for the responses.
