i set up a print server using samba and cups and 
it seems to be working fine but in my environment 
it is vital for each printjob to have a banner with 
netbios name on it.
eg i have 700 public computers and 4 printers so i 
need each computer to print a banner with the hostname 
to distinguish who prints what. i tried to set it up on 
the client side but it doesnt seem to be working.
any help would be greatly appreciated. 10x

You should use the CUPS PostScript drivers for Win NT/2K/XP
on your clients (Win 95/98/ME are not supported). They are
the only ones to support CUPS banners.

If you're already running winbindd, the easiest way is to probably add
wins to the hosts line of your nsswitch.conf, and rely on
{job-originating-host-name} in your cups banner.  At the very least you
will have the client's ip address, but with WINS in your nsswitch.conf
you should be able to resolve these.

Alternately you might be able to specify a print command in smb.conf
that passes %m as a print option or something, but I couldn't tell you
if cups would accept something like this for sure...
