[Samba] LPRng: LPRng and Samba (fwd)

[Yura Pismerov]

In your printer share, define the following:

print command = echo %u@%I: %J %S %T >>  /var/spool/samba/junkJ;\
                a="`echo '%J' | sed "s/^.*- //"`" ;\
                /usr/bin/lpr -P%S  -J"$a"  %s;\
                rm %s

It should log user at IP_of_the_user's_station among other usefuls things
in /var/spool/samba/junkJ file.
