[K12OSN] Printing Debacle; Getting a MAC Address



Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
Kernal: 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp
 
I'm using Oracle NIC computers with the K12LTSP system.  Anyone out there know of a way to determine the MAC address of the computer via Linux when or after a user logs in?
 
We have a new system that I will be installing next week for 5th and 6th graders.  There will be seven classrooms and up to 300 students.  Any student can potentially log in and print from any Oracle NIC in any classroom.  I need to find a way in which printing for any specific student will be sent to the printer in the classroom in which the student is working.  Rather than have the student select a printer--my backup plan--I would like to bind each Oracle NIC's printing output to a specific printer based upon the Oracle NIC's MAC address.
 
Printing will be through Mozilla and various Star Office applications.
 
I am, of course, open to other solutions.
 
Thanks.
