5 # Version 1.0 13 January 1995
6 # modified from the original smbprint (bsd) script
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.
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)
16 # lpadmin -punixprintername -v/dev/null -i/opt/samba/smbprint
18 # where unixprintername is the name that the printer will be known as
19 # on your unix box.
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
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.
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.
36 # clear out the unwanted parameters
37 shift;shift;shift;shift;shift
38 # now the argument list is just the files to print
40 server=admin
41 service=hplj2
42 password=""
45 # NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic
46 # CR/LF translation when printing.
