I don't understand your setup but: The original file name is sent to samba as the %J variable. This is the banner, I believe.
With LPRng, the command lpr -J"My job name" will put "My job name" into the print queue as the job name. So, maybe, if you change your print command in your smb.conf file to include: -J"%J" you might get what you want.
