>Description:

	Some time ago, lpd(8) learned to optionally run filters for
	remote (networked) printers, as well. Unfortunately, this
	support doesn't go all the way, and filters are not provided
	with the data in the printjob description - you cannot do
	accounting. The fact is undocumented, which is why I file this
	as a software bug.

	Looking through usr.sbin/lpr/lpd/printjob.c, we see that
	the job description is parsed in printit(), which is only
	called for locally attached printers, whereas sendit() is used
	for remote printers.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Set up a printcap entry with accounting for a networked
	printer. Find that /usr/libexec/lpr/lpf as well as any
	homebaked filter scripts are not provided with any user
	information.

>Fix:

	Factor out the jobfile parser. Have sendit() call it as well,
	and set the static variables that print() later feeds to the
	filters.
