Hello!
I have installed TCP/IP Print Service, but I have no idea how to configure
list of users allowed to print. I know that LPD prototcol sends 'job
owner' information and under Windows it's user's login, but when job goes
to printer, job owner is 'System' (service runs as 'System', I can change
it, but it doesn't change much to me). The problem is: since every single
document is printed as 'System', I can't forbid user to print... Under
Unix systems I can make such configuration with /etc/hosts.lpd file.
I know that LPD protocol has nothing to do with security, but I want to
prevent situations like 'Ooooops... I've sent 1000 pages to wrong
printer....'. Printers have to be LPD printers.
