I want to hide a printer that's connected to a Centos 6 printer server to prevent it showing up on some of the other computers on the local network. Using system-config-printer, putting the IP address of the computer that I want to hide the printer from into the Access Control window for that printer doesn't work since it apparently wants a user name, not an IP address. How can I specify that the printer can be seen only by certain IP addresses but not others? -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Real D 3D Digital Cinema ~ www.melvilletheatre.com

If you're smarter than I am (not to say, more ambitious) you could probably add some firewall rules to do the trick. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. ------------------------------ Philippians 4:13 -------------------------------
