The spoolers(1) now recognize a restriction option (-r) which specifies
special requirements for a particular print job. These might include
a particular font, letterhead, labels, etc. If any restriction is
requested, the job is printed only if that restriction is matched by
the contents of the ``restrict'' file in the spool directory.
The spoolers(1) (lpr, hpr ...) now check for sequentially numbered
sub-directories in the spooler directory. If one or more exists,
the restrictions listed are checked against restrictions requested
by the user with the new `-r' option. The spooler tries to match
the requests, leaving total mismatches in the last sub-directory.
The effect of all this is that we can now run our two laser printers
with a single spooler (hpr) that recognizes to which printer a particular
job should be sent.
Ms(1) generates appropriate restrictions.
