Deleting printing everywhere
I am in a prison system with a standalone (no internet connection) Solaris 8 network using Sun-Rays for clients (so no software is on the client side). We are finding a problem where inmates are using the print-to-file function to be able to rename folders everywhere on the server, meaning they are slow (not instant :-) messaging by renaming folders to a message/letter and then reading these folders on others directories. The particular canned education application is allowing for printing and then the print to file function and sees no reason to change their program to correct this since it is very specific to our particular application. Where would printing specifically be shut off in the Solaris 8 side of the problem? No printers show up under Print Manager, lpcadmin, lpc, lp, lpr, etc. Where functionally is a printer initially started when booting? I see one message about "printing services starting" during bootup but that is it! Is there an init file, etc. which is where this message comes from?
