[STR New]

We have Ricoh printers and have to provide user code with print jobs for
accounting reasons, and this doesn't work.

According to this page http://moore.cx/experiences/ricoh_user_code.html it
looks like you insert some code in to the "%%BeginProlog" section of the
postscript file. When I do this edit by hand everything works well and
print the result everything works fine. When I get cups to do it for me it
stuffs it up.

The desired lines in the postscript look like
....
%%BeginProlog
mark
() (112233) (200502071842) {setuserinfo} stopped
cleartomark
....
%%EndProlog

Where 112233 is the usercode and 2005... is a datestamp.


The ppd I'm using is the standard ricoh one
(https://www.dropbox.com/s/2o75ur3z74n732s/ricoh3colour.ppd), that was
edited as per the instructions on the openprinting website (see
http://tiny.cc/hq8wow) to put in my usercode.

It has lines in it that are:
 
*DefaultUserCode: 112233
*UserCode None/None: ""
*UserCode 112233/112233: "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: UserCode=112233"
*FoomaticRIPOptionSetting UserCode=112233: "mark\n&&
() (112233) (20`date +%y%m%d%R | sed 's/://'`) {setuserinfo} stopped\n&&

cleartomark\n"
*End

And to my untrained eye look like they are asking foomatic-rip to make the
appropriate change to the postscript file.

However the relevant section of the postscript generated by foomatic-rip
doesn't look right (and doesnt work) it looks like:

[{
%%BeginFeature: *CustomLockedPrintPassword True
()
%%EndFeature
} stopped cleartomark
[{
%%BeginFeature: *UserCode 112203
%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: UserCode=112203
%%EndFeature
} stopped cleartomark
[{
%%BeginFeature: *RIWatermark Off
%%EndFeature

and my job gets rejected.
