SMBSPOOL(8)                                                        SMBSPOOL(8)



NAME
       smbspool - send a print file to an SMB printer

SYNOPSIS
       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


smbspool tries to get the URI from the  environment  variable  DEVICE_URI.  If
DEVICE_URI  is  not  present,  smbspool  will  use argv[0] if that starts with
“smb://” or argv[1] if that is not the case.

Programs using the exec(2) functions can pass the URI in argv[0], while  shell
scripts  must  set  the  DEVICE_URI environment variable prior to running smb-
spool.

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 sin-
          gle 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.

VERSION

AUTHOR
       smbspool was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products.

       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.

       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 Doc-
       Book XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
