In my case, I've created a zPDF printer as default and this works fine.  Using a postprocessing script, I'm able to get the cups server to email us whenever the zPDF printer has been used.  So, all this works... good. This is using the cups-pdf driver btw, on cups 1.3.9.

The job-originating-host-name value is passed as an option in argv[5] starting in CUPS 1.4. Prior to that you had to do an IPP query to get that attribute from the current job.
