|
2001-06-19 13:26:42 -04:00
|
|
|
of the Berkeley LPR print spooler functionality. While providing
|
|
|
|
|
the same interface and meeting RFC1179 requirements, the implementation
|
|
|
|
|
is completely new and provides support for the following features:
|
|
|
|
|
lightweight (no databases needed) lpr, lpc, and lprm programs;
|
|
|
|
|
dynamic redirection of print queues; automatic job holding; highly
|
|
|
|
|
verbose diagnostics; multiple printers serving a single queue;
|
|
|
|
|
client programs do not need to run SUID root; greatly enhanced
|
|
|
|
|
security checks; and a greatly improved permission and authorization
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism.
