Command line DB reads

[Doug Douglass]

Try this as your "print command" in smb.conf:

print command = lpr -r -P%p -J'%J' %s

-J sets the job name.

Someone posted to this list a link to another list where this was the
suggested solution. I'm using it, but really haven't tested that it sets the
job name to something more useful.

HTH,
Doug
