I'm curious if any of you have done complex setup of CUPS, like for an
enterprise... What we did for CRMC was interesting and cool and all
that,but I need something a bit different.
Currently, we are using Netware to manage printer policies for the
accounts in our building so that people only see listed in their apps
the printers to which they are allowed to print.
I know CUPS has the Policy section in their config files that can be
configured to limit access to job submission to printers with pretty
fine-grained control. Only works for local unix users, but I can kinda
live with that for now.
My question is, has anyone here used these policies successfully? If
so, when someone tries to print from an app like OOo, does their list of
possible printers include only those to which they can submit a job, or
does it include all printers and they will get an error if they submit
to a forbidden one?
