Since nobody else seems to be responding...
(and since I spent a little time at DU ;)

If you're using cups - it looks like you are (you really should specify
that info in your original post...) this may apply to you.
 
I think you can't control the job names that get submitted unless
you don't use the cups api and use the lpr interface to cups instead.
Then you can use the % variables to sumbit the jobs to be whatever you
want.

if you want machine name you could use %m i think...

PS - I hope somebody comes along and says - no you can do it using the
cups API like this - ...
