I'm not sure if I did fully understand what you want to achieve. As far as I 
got it, both the output bin and "print banner or not" shall be determined by 
the user name only?
I think the banner printing can be achieved by a specially tweaked banner 
page (written in PostScript, of course), but the selection of the output bin 
could be tricky, as different printers call for different code to select the 
output bin.
