   5 #      Version 1.0 13 January 1995
   6 #               modified from the original smbprint (bsd) script
   7 #
   8 # this script is a System 5 printer interface script. It
   9 # uses the smbclient program to print the file to the specified smb-based
  10 # server and service.
  11 #
  12 # To add this to your lp system, copy this file into your samba directory
  13 # (the example here is /opt/samba), modify the server and service variables
  14 # and then execute the following command (as root)
  15 #
  16 # lpadmin -punixprintername -v/dev/null -i/opt/samba/smbprint
  17 #
  18 # where unixprintername is the name that the printer will be known as
  19 # on your unix box.
  20 #
  21 # the script smbprint will be copied into your printer administration
  22 # directory (/usr/lib/lp or /etc/lp) as a new interface
  23 # (interface/unixprintername)
  24 # Then you have to enable unixprintername and accept unixprintername
  25 #
  26 # This script will then be called by the lp service to print the files
  27 # This script will have 6 or more parameters passed to it by the lp service.
  28 # The first five will contain details of the print job, who queued it etc,
  29 # while parameters 6 onwards are a list of files to print.  We just
  30 # cat these at the samba client.
  31 #
  32 # Set these to the server and service you wish to print to
  33 # In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer
  34 # exported called "printer" with no password.
  35 #
  36 # clear out the unwanted parameters
  37 shift;shift;shift;shift;shift
  38 # now the argument list is just the files to print
