NAME
smbspool - send a print file to an SMB printerSYNOPSIS
smbspool
{job} {user} {title} {copies} {options} [filename]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite. smbspool is a very small print spooling program that sends a print file to an SMB printer. 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. DEVICE URI smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can take a number of forms:•smb://server[:port]/printer
•smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer
•smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
•smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer
OPTIONS
•The job argument (argv[1]) contains
the job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool.
•The user argument (argv[2]) contains
the print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool.
•The title argument (argv[3]) contains
the job title string and is passed as the remote file name when sending the
print job.
•The copies argument (argv[4]) contains
the number of copies to be printed of the named file. If no filename is
provided then this argument is not used by smbspool.
•The options argument (argv[5])
contains the print options in a single string and is currently not used by
smbspool.
•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.
