Printer banner always 'nobody'

I use rlpr and a custom banner page, I call a shell script and I pass the
samba info to the script.  I'll show you, you will want to remove the nobody
restriction, as all user are authenticated on my system.  One of the
niceities of doing it yourseld is I also have both the IP address, and the
NetBios computer name on the banner page as well.

rlpr can be found somewhere on the internet.  It's just a user level program
to do lpr, without /etc/printcap.

banner_ps is a shell script that generates a lexmark banner page with the
appropriate subtitutions.
