    I have to agree... whenever one starts discussing weird, esoteric 
    workarounds one inevitably introduces security holes.  I really think 
    just disabling the -s option may be the best solution.

    Garance:  I recommend you actually check to see how big your printer spools
    get.  If they look reasonable then turning off -s is not going to hurt
    anything.  I expect that most users don't even know the option exists and
    so don't use it anyway.
