Yes and not.

You can look into apsfilter for example. It gets from control file
JOB, USER and HOST items in case of ASCII input printing. This
information is used for "better" printing - ASCII input is converted
into PostScript and some additional headers are added: "Printed by USER
from HOST', "JOB name", date of printing and others. Why we should
lose this feature? (But I don't know, if there is any other and better
way how to fix this problem.)
