Hi,
I have read this in the ssh man page (variable set by an ssh connection):
SSH_CLIENT
Identifies the client end of the connection. The variable con�
tains three space-separated values: client ip-address, client
port number, and server port number.
Maybe your printing application could get it and use it. I tried with an
xterm but this variable wasn't set, but it may be related with the xterm
overriding the environment, and not with ssh.
There is also that in the ssh man page, but I don't know if it is easy to
change it dynamically:
Additionally, ssh reads $HOME/.ssh/environment, and adds lines of the
format ``VARNAME=value'' to the environment.
