While you're at it, you can put in some added perl (or other language) goo to get the
job name and submit it with to lpr with the -J flag...then the document name shows up
in the queue correctly from both the Windows and Unix side of things (without using
temporary SAMBA filename).
Our lpr wrapper looks something like this:
if ($#ARGV !=1){
die "Usage: lpr <printer> <printjob>\n";
}
$printer = $ARGV[0];
$printjob = $ARGV[1];
$reallpr = "/s/std/bin/lpr";
open PJOB, $printjob || die "Error: could not open $printjob";
$title = $printjob;
while (<PJOB>) {
if ($_ =~ /^%%Title: (Microsoft PowerPoint - |Microsoft Word - )?(.*)$/) {
$title = $2;
$title =~ s/
//g;
last;
}
}
close PJOB;
# Build up print command
$command = $reallpr." -P".$printer." -J\"".$title."\" -r ".$printjob;
# Go print the job
exec($command);
