Manually Adding a New User to the Print Queue

A listing of the /afs/.wam.umd.edu/common/access/print directory:

  neobank:~% cd /afs/.wam.umd.edu/common/access/print
  neobank:common/access/print% ls
  P4Pstaff/  bmgt/      clis/      educ/      math/      omse/      wam/
  arhu/      chem/      clis2108/  honors/    mmh/       physics/
  neobank:common/access/print% 

Each queue has a file in one of the subdirectories here.

A listing of one of the subdirectories:

  neobank:common/access/print% cd bmgt
  neobank:access/print/bmgt% ls
  bmgt       bmgtlab1   bmgtlab2   bmgtlab3

These files are named after the queues they give permissions for. File entries follow a specific form. (real user names have been changed to userN for the sake of this example):

  neobank:access/print/bmgt% cat bmgt
  user1.@WAM.UMD.EDU
  user2.@WAM.UMD.EDU
  user3.@WAM.UMD.EDU

To add a new user, edit the file and add a new line using the same form. This example uses echo and cat. You may wish to use an editor like pico, vi, or emacs:

  neobank:access/print/bmgt% echo 'newuser.@WAM.UMD.EDU' | cat >> bmgt

This appended a line to the file for newuser:

  neobank:access/print/bmgt% cat bmgt
  user1.@WAM.UMD.EDU
  user2.@WAM.UMD.EDU
  user3.@WAM.UMD.EDU
  newuser.@WAM.UMD.EDU
