[Samba] Print Job Names Are Obscure

[Ryan Novosielski]

Look at the %J variable in the smb.conf man page. That contains the job
name. Careful, as you will need to put '' around it in most cases to get
it to work. Then figure out (with man lp or man lpr) how to pass a job
name to the print job. On my system, it is:

lpr -J'%J'

HTH!
