Socket is plain data transfer to a port without any
higher level protocol (like the LPD protocol).

Because the LPD protocol supports meta-data transfer
like jobname and userid.

I guess this machine supports its own kind of JCL (Job Control
Language - something like HP's PJL).

If the JCL of this machine supports jobname and userid,
it should be not too hard to make a selfmade additional
filter or a selfmade socket-backend which inserts the
appropriate JCL stuff into the print data stream.

JCL options which can be selected by the user are supported
via PPD files but this doesn't help you in this case because
you would need an automated way to insert variable JCL stuff
into the print data stream.
