24 This tool is part of the Sambasuite.

26
27 smbspool is a very small print spooling program that sends a
28 print file to an SMB printer. The command-line arguments are
29 position-dependent for compatibility with the Common UNIX
30 Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing
31 system or from a program or script.

34 __DEVICE URI__
35
36
37 smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource
38 Identifier (

47 smb://username:password@server/printer
48

50 smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer
51
52
53 smbspool tries to get the URI from argv[[0]. If argv[[0]
54 contains the name of the program then it looks in the
55 __DEVICE_URI__ environment variable.
56
57
58 Programs using the __exec(2)__ functions can pass the URI
59 in argv[[0], while shell scripts must set the
60 __DEVICE_URI__ environment variable prior to running
61 smbspool.
62 !!OPTIONS
63
64
65 The job argument (argv[[1]) contains the job ID number and is
66 presently not used by smbspool.
67
68
69 The user argument (argv[[2]) contains the print user's name
70 and is presently not used by smbspool.
71
72
73 The title argument (argv[[3]) contains the job title string
74 and is passed as the remote file name when sending the print
75 job.
76
77
78 The copies argument (argv[[4]) contains the number of copies
79 to be printed of the named file. If no filename is provided
80 than this argument is not used by smbspool.
81
82
83 The options argument (argv[[5]) contains the print options in
84 a single string and is presently not used by
85 smbspool.
86
87
88 The filename argument (argv[[6]) contains the name of the
89 file to print. If this argument is not specified then the
90 print file is read from the standard input.
