Samba 2.2.8 Print job number handling?

[John E. Malmberg]

Is there code in the SAMBA 2.2.8 port to deal with mapping the VMS job 
number to a range that will work for SAMBA?

The VMS job number is an unsigned 32 bit integer, and the SMB protocol 
can only handle a 16 bit integer.

So there needs to be a dynamic mapping of VMS job numbers to SMB job 
numbers.

Or ever time a job number larger than 65535 is issued, it will not be 
accessible to SAMBA.

For 2.0.6. I set the job name to encode the SMB job number, so that the 
print queue management commands would work only with print jobs 
submitted through SAMBA, as that was the only ones that the translation 
could be verified.

If this still is an issue with SAMBA 2.2.8, I will enter a bug in 
BUGZILLA to track this.
