samba - Apr 2003 - Is it posible to force Windows 2000 to send print job name?

Hi,
I need to log print job's. But Windows 2000 send me only 'Remote
Downlevel
Document' as a job name (%J macro in print command). (I don't have other
Windows system versions to test it there, but from Linux}smbspool command)
it works fine - job name is "Remote Downlevel Document + job name").
Is
there any possibility how to force (or get) print job name from Windows
(name of origin file, which is printed)?

Thanks for your replies,

Martin

PS: Can I get IP adress of client computer, which send print job?

Hi Martin,

maybe this might help:

- I use this printer defintion originally to write to pdf files, but
  it can easily be used to test what parameters W2K passes onto the samba
printjob.

- I experienced that parameters such as filename / document name are passed
on differently from
  Microsoft Office Apps than for example from Acrobat Reader.

file: /etc/smb.conf

# Set up PDF-creation service
# & sends script to background, freeing resources on Win machine
# script needs to care about deleting print file by itself
[pdf]
   path =/var/spool/samba
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   print command = /var/samba/scripts/printpdf.sh %s %p %J %m %a %I &


file: /var/samba/scripts/printpdf.sh

#!/bin/sh
# write Samba ENV vars into logfile
#
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`
echo bla "$DATE $1 - $2 - $3 - $4 - $5 - $6 " >> /tmp/print.log


Kind Regardes
