22 smbspool \- send a print file to an SMB printer
27 \fBsmbspool\fR {job} {user} {title} {copies} {options} [filename]
34 This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
37 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\&.
43 smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb"\&. This string can take a number of forms:
47 smb://server[:port]/printer
50 smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer
53 smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
56 smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer
60 smbspool tries to get the URI from the environment variable\fBDEVICE_URI\fR\&. If \fBDEVICE_URI\fR is not present, smbspool will use argv[0] if that starts with ``smb://'' or argv[1] if that is not the case\&.
63 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\&.
69 The job argument (argv[1]) contains the job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool\&.
72 The user argument (argv[2]) contains the print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool\&.
75 The title argument (argv[3]) contains the job title string and is passed as the remote file name when sending the print job\&.
78 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\&.
81 The options argument (argv[5]) contains the print options in a single string and is currently not used by smbspool\&.
84 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\&.
90 This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.

100 \fBsmbspool\fR was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products\&.
103 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\&.
106 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/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
