Nope. I've made a little PDF-converter. A user connects to a special printer
which is in fact a ps2pdf-converter. The user has to install a postscript
printer driver though.

The printjob is converted (after stripping some junk Windows provides) with
ghostscript to PDF and the created PDF is stored under a world-readable
directory according the following filename-scheme:

<LOGIN>-<JOBNAME>.pdf

The first version of this script took some command line parameters. One of
these was the username provided by %U. With Terminal-Server user the above
problem appeared. Now I'm parsing the Postscript. It contains the real user
name and as goodie the title of the document. So the new filename scheme is:

<LOGIN>-<TITLE>.pdf

(After translating some invalid characters of the title). I've seen the %u
(lowercase 'U'). Is this maybe the real user name?
