samba - Oct 1999 - Varying user when submitting print job

I have Samba installed and successfully running on RH
6.1, in a WinNT domain.  Here is the part I haven't
been able to figure out or find documented after
reading the SMB How-To and the Samba manpages:

I need Samba to submit print jobs to a WinNT print
server, automatically using the user's account and
password who is sending the print job to access the NT
shared printer.  That is, if my account Dan logs-on in
Linux, SMB will use the NT account Dan (with identical
passwords) to submit print jobs.  Currently I have it
working through LinuxConf, to submit a static account
and password, but I need to be able to track which
user prints.

Any ideas, links to relevant docs, or examples from
smb.conf files would be greatly appreciated.  Please
cc: me, as I am not subscribed to the list.

Thank you,

Mal Younger

If you are saying that you print with lpr, which uses the smbprint
filter, which calls smbclient, then you could try editing the smbprint
line:
 | /usr/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password -U $server -N
-P
>> $logfile
to use -U with a variable containing the username of the user running
the script.

don't know haw to pass the password, maybe you'll be asked for it every
time...
