Hi Everybody,

Want know if it possible to create a printer in cups that is only available
let say from 8 pm to 4 am.

Users should be able to add printjobs to the printer at any time, but they
will only be printed between 8pm to 4am. Anybody who knows how to do this?

I was thinking in these in directions:
- Create the printer
- in crontab; enable printer at 8pm and disable printer at 4am

Will this work or is it a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Jatinder
