Hi, 

How can printer attachments be restricted? We need a way to allow users 
to create output into an outq, but restrict them from attaching a printer 
to that outq. 

When they're in the WRKSPLF screen (from a menu, no command line), they 
do 9=Work with printing status, then 2=Change status, then attach a 
printer to the queue, thinking they're only routing their output to that 
printer. It's a monitored queue and should never be attached to a 
printer, attaching it results in wasted paper and lost spool.

TIA,
