Dear Samba Gurus We have been using samba to work a print solution for our University for quite sometime, where the user doesn't need an account on the domain, nor does the PC need to be part of our Domain or Workgroup. Users can print to the machine via \\server\printershare and this has worked perfectly in the past, because %U is returned as the username their workstation recognises them as, or basically %username% from their workstation's environment variables. I use a perl script to do some stuff after we receive the job, based on the username they requested.
When we upgraded to v3 (pretty much any build that we've tried) all of a sudden, the %U variable/macro is null. This is not so if I join the samba machine to the Domain/AD and use security = domain or server. Then %U is returned correctly, but this means that all the users need to be in a domain, where our students bring in their own machines and we have no control over their domain memberships etc. If I downgrade back to 2.2 I have no troubles.
