It is pretty much impossible, unless you can find something other than
lpr to spool to. Basically you have to record which PC client sent the
job so that you can run smbclient to hand back the status when the job
finally gets printed by the end spooler (lpd). There is no way to get
lpr to record all this information with the job. So you have to find a
way to record the information externally and get the final lpd interface
script to refer back to it.

A nice project for someone!
