  55 >smbspool is a very small print spooling program that
  56         sends a print file to an SMB printer. The command-line arguments
  57         are position-dependent for compatibility with the Common UNIX
  58         Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing system
  59         or from a program or script.</P
