In smb.conf:

print command = /usr/common/LPRng/bin/lpr -P%p -CSOURCE=SAMBA,REMOTEIP=%I -r %s

or something like that. You can then write a filter to rewrite the control file in LPRng before sending it on.

I have a Samba server which users LPRng 3.8.19 as released with Redhat 9. The server does not do any actual printing but forwards the print jobs to one of 2 print servers depending upon whether the printer to be used is accounted or not. My problem is that I need the server that deals with accounted printers to know the name/IP address of the PC that generated the print job rather than the name of the samba server that issued the lpr command i.e. override the value of the 'H' line in the control file with the %M samba value. Can this be done and, is so, then how?
