[comp.sys.apollo] Printing User name

	In article <9012111420.AA01611@cc2.cc.umr.edu> you ask:
	> Is there any way to ... have [a specified] USER NAME printed on the 
	> Apollo Print Server Banner Page?
	
	Yes, there is, use 'prf -user USER_NAME'.

I was aware of the -user option of the PRF command.

My question was in reference to hooking the USER NAME in the /etc/printcap file because
by default the LPD passes a user name of DAEMON. That was the whole purpose of our
having to write a filter to prepend a banner page before sending to the apollo print
server via pc: in printcap (with -banner off -trans). If we could somehow get the remote
user name directly substituted, then we wouldn't need a filter.
