We do something similar here, mostly for cosmetic purposes. Here is our
samba "print command":
/private/lprng/bin/lpr -P%p -r -l -Z'win:%m' -J'%m:%s' %s
In our lprng accounting script, we pull apart the -Z option to get the
machine name and send them a winpopup message saying where their job is
printing. You could probably stick the username into -Z instead, although
if samba doesn't know the username later, why would it know it here? :)

YOU MUST BE A LIST MEMBER IN ORDER TO POST TO THE LPRNG MAILING LIST
The address you post from MUST be your subscription address
If you need help, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or lprng-requests
or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
