https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/restrict-printer-to-specific-group/m-p/2783369#M77787 There is nothing in HP-UX to perform this task, although it is a fairly common request as it seems everyone wants to print on the color LaserJet. I call it: Social engineering by computer. You would have to modify the print queue's printer script in /etc/lp/interface. You could provide a simple ASCII file in /etc/lp for each group of user ID's and then inside the print script, bail out early (with a normal completion) when the wrong user sends a job.<BR /><BR />Note: this *ONLY* works for local user that login to the HP-UX box and print using the lp subsystem. If users are printing from PCs and using HP-UX as a server, it gets more complicated to find a way to identify these users.
