I did a module like that last year, see 
http://www.er6.eng.ohio-state.edu/~jonesd/print_vms_2.zip

The JOB ID mapping is a problem.  I cheated and assumed that VMS queue entry
numbers are less than 10,000 and that samba-created jobs don't exceed 6000.
I don't know if VMS version 8 manages entry numbers differently.

My print_vms module looks for the SAMBA_SERVED printer characteristic and if
found only serves printers that have that characteristics set.
