You could stop the printer by issuing a 'ppop reject <destination>'. By reading through the ppad(8) and ppop(1) man pages, I think it is the cleanest solution, but may be wrong. This will send a message to the user every time he tries to print on this particular destination. olive - -- Ouais, MS Word, c'est pas mal, mais au moins TeX ne me prend pas pour un idiot.
