1. Do you have netcat or if binary is available? .... "netcat: Command not found." and no I do not know if any binary's are available.
2. Could stop print service and manually edit? .... I kind of was looking for an automated process to determine what would print and what would get "dumped"
3. Unix release and binary compatible? .... Compaq Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650) and I believe it is binary compatible (it has samba) but that may not be 100% accurate

1. There is no GUI anywhere that I can find. It does not even seem to have xwindows. I am basically 100% CLI.
2. Yes, lpadmin is available to me.
3. Setup class for the printer....??? sorry, way over my head... please explain in more detail if you want me to follow
4. Modify filter file... Yeah, that was kind of what I was hoping to do. Copy and modify current filter file with something that would block print jobs that did not start with Manual.
5. Absolutely no worries about being a little rusty.... I have no experience at all and this is soooo ancient I had many problems finding any information at all on it. Any help you can offer or light you can shed is more than greatly appreciated.

FYI: This machine is currently being used in a production environment so any changes made need to be small and minor with little impact to the system.

cupsreject

cupsaccept(8)							    Apple Inc.							     cupsaccept(8)

NAME

       cupsaccept/cupsreject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination

SYNOPSIS

       cupsaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
       cupsreject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] destination(s)

DESCRIPTION

       The cupsaccept command instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the specified destinations.

       The cupsreject command instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the specified destinations.  The -r option sets the reason for
       rejecting print jobs. If not specified, the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by both cupsaccept and cupsreject:

       -E   Forces encryption when connecting to the server.

       -U username
	    Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.

       -h hostname[:port]
	    Chooses an alternate server.

       -r "reason"
	    Sets the reason string that is shown for a printer that is rejecting jobs.

CONFORMING TO

       The cupsaccept and cupsreject commands correspond to the System V printing system commands "accept" and "reject", respectively.	Unlike the
       System  V  printing system, CUPS allows printer names to contain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#".  Also, printer and
       class names are not case-sensitive.

       Finally, the CUPS versions may ask the user for an access password depending on the printing system configuration.
