I'm creating a samba printer that will email a PDF, could be usefull for 
emailing POs ect. I have the script and printer setup, I modified the 
script to create a PDF from samba, and had it attach to an email and 
send, rather than save it in a users home directory. It works fine when 
I hard code the to address in the script. I was wondering how to pass an 
email address to samba from windows, so I can then hand it to my script. 
I assume I may need a custom print driver?

My Setup:
[pdfmail]
   path = /tmp
   printable = yes
   guest ok = yes
   print command = /usr/bin/emailpdf %s %u
   lpq command =
   lprm command =

emailpdf:
#!/bin/sh
DATE=`date +%b%d-%H%M%S`


OUTDIR=/tmp
/usr/bin/ps2pdf13 /tmp/$1 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
chmod 660 $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
sendEmail -m "Emailed PDF" -f xxx at dynabrade.com -t xxx at dynabrade.com -u 
"Emailed PDF" -a $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
rm $1
rm $OUTDIR/$2-$DATE.pdf
