Need username printed at top of page

[Patrick Young]

I've googled and searched the forums. So far no suggestion has worked for me. I have Mac OS 10.4.8 clients printing via IPP to a Fedora Core 6 box running CUPS v1.2.7 (release 1.8.fc6). CUPS connects to the printers via the socket backend. I installed CUPS using Fedora's RPMs.

I need all print jobs destined for one particular printer to have the username printed at the top of every page (for example, top left in small font). Banners before or after a print job aren't what I'm after. I'd like this to be done on the CUPS server if possible so client users can't fiddle with the setting in their accounts.

Can anyone please guide me? I don't know Postscript or any printer languages. But I can follow detailed instructions. :-)

Thank you for any help you can give!
