The command-line arguments +are position-dependent for compatibility with the Common UNIX +Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing system +or from a program or script. +.PP +\fBDEVICE URI\fR +.PP +smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource +Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can take +a number of forms: +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +smb://server/printer +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +smb://workgroup/server/printer +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +smb://username:password@server/printer +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer +.PP +smbspool tries to get the URI from argv[0]. If argv[0] +contains the name of the program then it looks in the \fB DEVICE_URI\fR environment variable. +.PP +.PP +Programs using the \fBexec(2)\fR functions can +pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the +\fBDEVICE_URI\fR environment variable prior to +running smbspool. +.PP +.SH "OPTIONS" +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The job argument (argv[1]) contains the +job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The user argument (argv[2]) contains the +print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The title argument (argv[3]) contains the +job title string and is passed as the remote file name +when sending the print job. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The copies argument (argv[4]) contains +the number of copies to be printed of the named file. If +no filename is provided than this argument is not used by +smbspool. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The options argument (argv[5]) contains +the print options in a single string and is presently +not used by smbspool. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +The filename argument (argv[6]) contains the +name of the file to print. If this argument is not specified +then the print file is read from the standard input. +.SH "VERSION" +.PP +This man page is correct for version 2.2 of +the Samba suite. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBsmbd(8)\fR, +and samba(7). +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +\fBsmbspool\fR was written by Michael Sweet +at Easy Software Products. +.PP +The original Samba software and related utilities +were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar +to the way the Linux kernel is developed. +.PP +The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. +The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another +excellent piece of Open Source software, available at +ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 +release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for +Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter |
