For V1.0, the default for the DOCUMENT command is to print the output
file directly. This raises a security issue, if users are composing
'sensitive' documents and absentmindedly leave off the /NOPRIN
qualifier.
We had such an instance where a manager was using DOCUMENT to compose
an employee performance evaluation. Fortunately, she went over to the
printer before anyone else in the computer lab had a chance to read it.
Our more security-minded customers may want the option of resetting
the default system-wide to /NOPRINT so that their employees have
to deliberately specify direct queueing to a printer.
I suggest as a 'Wish List' item that the installation procedure
offer the system manager the option of setting system-wide defaults
for DOCUMENT--to give some piece of mind to some of our
security-oriented clients.
It easier than joining an LPS40 to a paper shedder :-)

| 685.1 | We did it in BL8 | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | Fri Jul 17 1987 14:20 | 14 | |
For BL8, we handled this on our cluster by setting LN03/NOPRINT in DOC$DESTINATIONS.DAT. We then defined other print queues, located by pole numbers, such as LN03_N23, LN03_Q24, and so on. Hence: $ DOC filename doctype LN03 is /NOPRINT by default $ DOC filename doctype LN03_N23 goes to the printer by pole N23 by default We defined similar queues for POSTSCRIPT. Works very nicely.
