Just out of curiosity, would a time-/datestamp also be difficult due to sending to a remote server? That's no big deal. This gives me the bulk of what I was after. And it's centered, too! :-)

If you look inti the pstops.txt (which is at the same site as the source)
you'll see what is passed to the PostScript job.

Here is an example:

---snip---
userdict/CUPS_ENV_OPT
<<      % Environment variables and command line options
   /CHARSET (utf-8)
   /CONTENT_TYPE (application/mostscript)
   /DEVICE_URI (file:/var/tmp/test.prn)
   /LANG (en_US)
   /PRINTER (test_to_file)
   /SOFTWARE (CUPS/1.1)
   /TZ (:CET)
   /USER (root)
   /CURRENT_DATE (Saturday, 17. March 2007 17:44)
   /NOWDATE (2007-03-17 076)
   /NOWTIME (17:44:03)
   /JCLResolution (600dpi)
   /JCLFastRes true
   /JCLEconomode false
   /supress-setup-features-from-ppd true
   /job-originating-user-name (frame)
   /job-name (Microsoft Word - 1604563.doc)
 >> put
---snip---
You see some of tne environment variables (don't be afraid
abou the USER - it is the user name the scheduler runs under),
CURRENT_DATE is (or should be) in the current locale's format,
NOWDATE and NOWTIME are in ISO format. What follows are alle
the job options from the command line.

Hope this helps
