[cups.general] Print Queues to Stop by Default in OSX

[Ryan Suarez]

There's a plugin for OSX (cups) that does this:

We do the same thing here for 1 of our labs.

Each printer would be connected via firewire or usb & shared via Printer Sharing. Not sure what the correct name is, but we need the queue manager to show which job is next for each printer, _but to pause by default before/after any job is to be printed_.

The printer front end wkstn would show the job spooled in the printer window, let's say a "Stylus Pro 4000 (FW:Maximum)". The print job would  appear in the queue window for that printer, but stopped or paused. The user must walk over to the the print station & release the job by clicking on 'resume.' After that job has printed, the next print job must be manually resumed.
