I am a technology coordinator for a school in Western Ohio, and I am
wanting to log print jobs to a file for review (ensuring students and
staff) are utilizing our equipment properly (At the request of my boss).
I found this in a thread..but I need some more information...or clearer
instructions. I just want to output this same informaton to a file for
each printer. Thanks in Advance. -Bodhi

I have been given the task of logging everything which is printed on my
samba server. I thought I would test this out on a pdf printer I'm using
with samba. I enter the following line for the print command.
%u has printed %s from %m to %p at %T >> /tmp/smbprintlog &&
/usr/bin/printpdf %s
The result is similar to the following.
joe has printed smbprn.004603.Zqq9tZ from wilmsn44 to pdftech at
2003/11/09 12:26:03
The resulting log entry is very good with the exception of %s which gives
the spool file name and not the name of the actual file. Is there a
method
to place the actual filename of the printjob into this type of log?
