Trusted Solaris Administrator's Procedures

Allowing the Printing of PostScript Files

By default, users cannot print PostScript files. This restriction exists because a knowledgeable PostScript programmer could create a PostScript file that modifies the labels on the printer output.

If desired, the Security Administrator role can assign the Print PostScript authorization to trustworthy users and role accounts. The Security Administrator role should do so only if the account can be trusted not to spoof the labels on printer output and if permitting the printing of PostScript files is consistent with the site's security policy.
