hi,
the SAMBA macros %M and %m contain the connecting clients internet /
netbios name. If you use something like lpr ... -m%m ... as a print
command the hostname will be in the controlfile in the 'M-line' all the
rest is a fancy script or something like that to get it in your
accounting...
maybe this helps (?)
