There are no built-in options to override the user name. However, LPR gets your user ID by issuing the "IDENTIFY (LIFO" command and expects to find "userid AT nodeid" as the first 3 tokens. If you're familiar with building nucleus extensions and the NUCXLOAD command, you can build your own IDENTIFY program that returns whatever you want. If you have the REXX compiler, this is exceptionally easy to do. If you use RSCS for printing, the user ID is taken from the spool file origin. If you want ALL files sent via that RSCS LPR link to appear to be from one specific user, then you can code USERNAME=userid in the LPRXONE or LPRXPSE CONFIG file. See the RSCS Exit Customization book for details. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
