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
8 # smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint
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.
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.
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.
23 # Script further modified by Richard Sharpe to fix some things.
24 # Get rid of the -x on the first line, and add parameters
26 # -t now causes translate to be used when sending files
28 # Further modifications by Alfred Perlstein to fix some problems and
29 # improve the quality of the code (3-Dec-2001).
31 # More hacking by Richard Sharpe to improve portability. 9-Dec-2001.
33 # In order for this to work the /etc/printcap entry must include an
34 # accounting file (af=...):
36 # cdcolour:\
37 # :cm=CD IBM Colorjet on 6th:\
38 # :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour:\
39 # :af=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour/acct:\
40 # :if=/usr/local/etc/smbprint:\
41 # :mx=0:\
42 # :lp=/dev/null:
44 # The /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file should contain:
45 # server=PC_SERVER
46 # service=PR_SHARENAME
47 # password="password"
49 # E.g.
50 # server=PAULS_PC
51 # service=CJET_371
52 # password=""
54 #smbclient=/usr/pkg/bin/smbclient
55 # Assume that smbclient will be in the same place as smbprint
57 smbclient="`dirname $0`/smbclient"
60 # The last parameter to the filter is the accounting file name.
61 # Extract the directory name from the file name.
62 # Concat this with /.config to get the config file.
