restricted polling for printers

Hi,

I have 10 printers on my server and want to let the world only see one of them.

I tried this by defining a policy

<Policy extern>
  <Limit CUPS-Get-Printers>
  AuthType None
  Order deny,allow
 Allow From all
</Limit>
</Policy>

and assigning it to the specific printer

<Printer lokal-3>
.....
Shared Yes
....
OpPolicy extern
</Printer>

But it does not work. Cups always shows all printers, if in any policy Get-Printers is granted.

Has anyone an Idea ?

Clemens
