Hello,

We have a cups server that forwards jobs to a lpd server. As
everyone no doubt knows, lpd has a data file and control
file. The control file contains username and hostname
where the hostname is the name of the computer where
the printjob originated, i.e, where the user initiated the
job.


Q. Is there a way to have the hostname always appear to be
the hostname of the cups server rather than the originating
host where the print job was initiated?
