[comp.protocols.appletalk] user identification from CAP/papif?

rtb@cernapo.cern.ch (Rainer Tobbicke) (02/26/91)

We have a Tektronix Printstation driving a color PostScript printer
that hooks up to AppleTalk. The setup behaves like a LaserWriter
but requires release 6.0 of the LaserWriter driver. 

Printing to the Station with CAP/papif works fine, BUT:

In the stations' log file all jobs from from papif appear as
coming from user 'Unknown'. On a Mac instead the user registers
the name of his Mac in the chooser which then appears in the
printstation's log. Does anybody know how this works?

I have intercepted the Mac PostScript file in the hope that the
info would be buried somewhere in the '%%' comments, but when
I papif that file it still comes from 'Unknown'. I have
found no parameter in the PAP protocol in Inside AppleTalk.
The PostScript 'jobname' command is issued correctly inside papif.

Thanks for any help.
