7 <para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printer
8 support for Windows NT/2000 clients in Samba 2.2, it is now
9 possible to delete printer at run time by issuing the
10 DeletePrinter() RPC call.</para>
12 <para>For a Samba host this means that the printer must be
13 physically deleted from underlying printing system. The <parameter moreinfo="none">
14 deleteprinter command</parameter> defines a script to be run which
15 will perform the necessary operations for removing the printer
16 from the print system and from <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename>.
19 <para>The <parameter moreinfo="none">deleteprinter command</parameter> is
20 automatically called with only one parameter: <parameter moreinfo="none">
21 "printer name"</parameter>.</para>
23 <para>Once the <parameter moreinfo="none">deleteprinter command</parameter> has
24 been executed, <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will reparse the <filename moreinfo="none">
25 smb.conf</filename> to associated printer no longer exists.
26 If the sharename is still valid, then <command moreinfo="none">smbd
27 </command> will return an ACCESS_DENIED error to the client.</para>
