[hacknews] /dev/lp protected

henry (05/15/83)

/dev/lp has been given the same protections as /dev/sp against direct
use (e.g. "foo >/dev/lp").  This is partly in anticipation of line-
printer accounting and partly because misuse of direct access to the
line printer may have caused the mysterious line-printer stoppage on
Friday (which I'm still investigating).
