I am guessing - but I suspect you will need to write your own script to take the username provided as an index to get the fullname from GECOS field, or whereever the information is stored.
As I am guessing - my guess is that lpstat - per POSIX standards - only reports the UNIX username - which is a limited (8 char) entry.
Hope this helps - even if only to trigger someone else who is not guessing

pam_umask
PAM_UMASK(8) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_UMASK(8)
NAME
pam_umask - PAM module to set the file mode creation mask
SYNOPSIS
pam_umask.so [debug] [silent] [usergroups] [umask=mask]
DESCRIPTION
pam_umask is a PAM module to set the file mode creation mask of the current environment. The umask affects the default permissions assigned
to newly created files.
The PAM module tries to get the umask value from the following places in the following order:
o umask= argument
o umask= entry in the user's GECOS field
o UMASK= entry from /etc/default/login
o UMASK entry from /etc/login.defs
The GECOS field is split on comma ',' characters. The module also in addition to the umask= entry recognizes pri= entry, which sets the
nice priority value for the session, and ulimit= entry, which sets the maximum size of files the processes in the session can create.
OPTIONS
debug
Print debug information.
silent
Don't print informative messages.
usergroups
If the user is not root and the username is the same as primary group name, the umask group bits are set to be the same as owner bits
(examples: 022 -> 002, 077 -> 007).
umask=mask
Sets the calling process's file mode creation mask (umask) to mask & 0777. The value is interpreted as Octal.
MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
Only the session type is provided.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS
The new umask was set successfully.
PAM_SERVICE_ERR
No username was given.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User not known.
EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to set the user specific umask at login:
session optional pam_umask.so umask=0022

pam.conf(5), pam.d(5), pam(8)
