Hi!

I am trying to restrict printing access on a computer.

# lpadmin -p lp0 -u deny:guest

works fine and /etc/cups/printers.conf is altered.

Unfortunately, quotas do not seem to work

# lpadmin -p lp0 -o job-page-limit=5 -o job-quota-period=3600

runs for 1-2 seconds and quits without error. However, /etc/cups
printers.conf is not changed and so the setting does not have any
effects.

Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround or an update?

PS: I tried to change the configuration file manually, but then it
did not work, even after a restart of the printing service.

Any help is greatly apreciated.

Regards

Philipp

Are the job-page-limit and job-quota-period PPD options supported for
that printer? PPD options can be listed using the -l option with the
lpoptions(1) command.

I will check that tomorrow at work. But shouldn't those be general
options? On my linux box, they are not listet in

# lpoptions -l

eventhough they work fine.

More about it tomorrow...
