Conﬁguring Logical Printers with DCE Security

Conﬁguring Logical Printers with DCE

Security

DCE security is available in the DCE Extended Environment only. This

section describes how to use DCE security to restrict access to physical

printers. Tasks covered include:

• Using DCE in association with conﬁgurations with one logical printer

to restrict access to physical printers.

• Using DCE in association with conﬁgurations with more than one

logical printer to restrict access to physical printers.

• Using a logical printer or printers to restrict the use of physical

printer features or capabilities and then using DCE to restrict which

users can submit jobs to the logical printer or printers.

The following three sub-sections present the details.

Using DCE to Restrict Access with One Logical

Printer

This section shows how to conﬁgure a logical printer for the desktop

conﬁguration model and how to restrict the use of this logical printer

using DCE security.

You can use the security feature of DCE to restrict which users can

submit jobs to physical printers. You must, however, restrict at the

logical printer level.

You use the following logical printer attribute to specify whether the

logical printer requires authorization:

authorize-jobs This single-value attribute indicates whether a user

must have DCE authorization in order to submit jobs

to the logical printer. Possible values are true or

false. The default is false.

Refer to Chapter 8 , “Managing DCE Security for HPDPS,” for a

description of DCE security. If you set authorize-jobs to true to

restrict the use of the logical printer, you must then do the following:
