There is no API call in web services to submit a print job. This is because the web services talk to the PaperCut MF/NG application server and print jobs have to be submitted the PaperCut print provider.

However there are a few ways to do it

Submit the job via LPD with the correct user name. PaperCut has an LPD server for Windows

Submit a PDF print job using the email to print feature in PaperCut with the correct from email address for the user

Add a PJL header to the print spool and submit the print spool via SMB or CUPS API calls.
