We have printers on our intranet that use Fiery X3's and X3e's. We would
like to allow only a small subset of our 3000 users to print to each of the
Fiery boxes. Workstations and servers are all Win2000. We have established
print queues on a Win2000 print server that send output to the Fiery queues.
We can use standard Win2000 access control to limit access to these Win2000
print queues, as needed. However, users can print to the Fierys without
going through the Win2000 print server queues, effectively bypassing the
access control.

Is there a way to cut off this access and accept input only from the Win2000
print queue? (The manuals are not helping.)

Thanks in advance,
Desperate in the Desert

Hello,

On the fiery print controllers there is no way of
preventing the advanced user from attaching to the print,
hold or direct queues of the machine using either an LPR
or Standard TCP/IP port, but you can disable the ones that
are not being used and also disable SMB or Windows
printing if that is active. You can then print using
either of these ports, Standard TCP/IP is installed on all
Win2k or WinXP machines and use the LPR setting with
either print, hold or direct in the LPR Queue setting.

Good luck...John
