loadparm.c is for declaring parameters and parsing smb.conf.

That's what I was thinking of.

Why not just make your command a wrapper that executes the lpr command?
Something like

  #!/bin/sh
 
  my_command $1
  lpr -P$2 $3
  /bin/rm -f $3

and add a "print command = some_script.sh %I %p %s"
No code changes necessary.
