PostScript Printing of Security Information

Labeled printing in Trusted Extensions relies on features from Oracle Solaris printing. As in the Oracle Solaris OS, the –job-sheets option handles banner page creation. To implement labeling, a filter converts the print job to a PostScript file. Then, the PostScript file is manipulated to insert labels on body pages, and to create banner and trailer pages.


Note - CUPS prevents any alteration of PostScript files. Therefore, a knowledgeable PostScript programmer cannot create a PostScript file that modifies the labels on the printout.
