samba - Sep 2006 - need %u parameter for lpq command

Hi,

I'm developing a script for "lpq command". It would need a %U
option so that the script can know which user asked for the job list. Currently,
lpq command seem to only serve %p. Is there any hope to get %U ?

I see that my script run as root, so I assume the calling user info is lost ?

TIA,
Charles

	I'm not quite sure about what exactly you are asking, but
if you talking about the 'lpq command' parameter on the smb.conf,
you should be able to use the common variables. The real question
is: "the lpq command that you are using has support to username?"

	I'm using etch on my desktop, 'man lpq' told me that lpq
supports -U, so you should be able to use:

		lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p -U%u

	Hmmm... the Samba should be able to pass the right
information of who is connecting to the share (or querying
the printer) even if the command is running as root.
