Wants to limit a group of people to use printer

ENV: AIX 4.1.4, Model 7024 E20

DESC: Can I limit a print queue to a group of people?

I think there are a number of ways to handle this.
The solution depends on how the printer is attached.

Ideas:
1.  Make a copy of the backend program, and give that backend
    permissions that only certain people can execute the program
2.  Make the "file = xx" file have permissions accessible  only
    by certain users.

You can use groups, or acl's for restricting permissions to a file.

Explained a couple options to the customer:

1.  Make a copy of the backend rembak called staffbak
2.  Change the permissions of staffbak to particular group.
3.  Add a line to queue device:  file = /dev/lpstaff
4.  Create file /dev/lpstaff with permissions for group
