   3 # This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It
   4 # uses the smbclient program to print the file to the specified smb-based
   5 # server and service.
   6 # For example you could have a printcap entry like this
   7 #
   8 # smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint
   9 #
  10 # which would create a unix printer called "smb" that will print via this
  11 # script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/smb with
  12 # appropriate permissions and ownerships for your system.
  13
  14 # Set these to the server and service you wish to print to
  15 # In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer
  16 # exported called "printer" with no password.
  17
  18 #
  19 # Script further altered by hamiltom@ecnz.co.nz (Michael Hamilton)
  20 # so that the server, service, and password can be read from
  21 # a /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file.
  22 #
  23 # In order for this to work the /etc/printcap entry must include an
  24 # accounting file (af=...):
  25 #
  26 #   cdcolour:\
  27 #       :cm=CD IBM Colorjet on 6th:\
  28 #       :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour:\
  29 #       :af=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour/acct:\
  30 #       :if=/usr/local/etc/smbprint:\
  31 #       :mx=0:\
  32 #       :lp=/dev/null:
  33 #
  34 # The /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file should contain:
  35 #   server=PC_SERVER
  36 #   service=PR_SHARENAME
  37 #   password="password"
  38 #
  39 # E.g.
  40 #   server=PAULS_PC
  41 #   service=CJET_371
  42 #   password=""
  43
  44 #
  45 # Debugging log file, change to /dev/null if you like.
  46 #
  47 logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
  48 # logfile=/dev/null
  49
  50
  51 #
  52 # The last parameter to the filter is the accounting file name.
  53 #   Extract the directory name from the file name.
  54 #   Concat this with /.config to get the config file.
  55 #
