[Samba] print command %J (job name) problem

[root at barad-dur.middle-earth.net]

Well the pdfprint script is a frontend to ps2pdf. I used it but it keeps
the clients waiting at the print screen until the script finishes (it does
not que the print jobs). I've been trying to get all things to work via
lpd but I have a hard time doing so.
