Konica User Authentication Scripting

I have a script that I have set up that installs a specific Konica copier for our faculty and sets the proper page handling settings for them. The problem that I am running into is that many of these faculty need to authenticate in order to print.

I have looked through the options available to me through lpoptions, but there is nothing that seems to dictate a user's copy code or even the department under which they are printing.

Does anybody know where Konica stores these settings inside MacOS? This is the last piece that I have to put together in order to finish the printer scripting that I am doing. Thanks in advance for the assistance.

This is what my postinstall script looked like before we swtiched to papercut. Hopefully it can provide some guidance:

#!/bin/sh
## postinstall

pathToScript=$0
pathToPackage=$1
targetLocation=$2
targetVolume=$3
