I use the -Z option of lpr to pass in "special" information to my
accounting.pl script. Here is my samba print command:
print command = /private/lprng/bin/lpr -P%p -r -l -Z'win:%m' -J'%m:%s' %s
This passes the netbios name of the host printing through samba, which I
then use in accounting.pl to send a message back to the host when their
print job has successfully printed (using smbclient -M).
It should be fairly easy to change the print command to use the IP address
of the host. I don't remember which % code that is right now, but you
could look it up in the smb.conf man page.
