|
|
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
|
|
<p><br><strong>testprns</strong> is a very simple test program to determine whether a
|
|
given printer name is valid for use in a service to be provided by
|
|
<a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a>.
|
|
<p><br>"Valid" in this context means "can be found in the printcap
|
|
specified". This program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it
|
|
would be wisest to always specify the printcap file to use.
|
|
<p><br><a name="OPTIONS"></a>
|
|
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><br><ul>
|
|
<p><br><a name="printername"></a>
|
|
<li><strong><strong>printername</strong></strong> The printer name to validate.
|
|
<p><br>Printer names are taken from the first field in each record in the
|
|
printcap file, single printer names and sets of aliases separated by
|
|
vertical bars ("|") are recognised. Note that no validation or
|
|
checking of the printcap syntax is done beyond that required to
|
|
extract the printer name. It may be that the print spooling system is
|
|
more forgiving or less forgiving than <strong>testprns</strong>. However, if
|
|
<strong>testprns</strong> finds the printer then <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a> should
|
|
do so as well.
|
|
<p><br><a name="printcapname"></a>
|
|
<li><strong><strong>printcapname</strong></strong> This is the name of the printcap file within
|
|
which to search for the given printer name.
|
|
<p><br>If no printcap name is specified <strong>testprns</strong> will attempt to scan the
|
|
printcap file name specified at compile time.
|
|
<p><br></ul>
|
|
<p><br><a name="FILES"></a>
|
|
<h2>FILES</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><br><strong>/etc/printcap</strong> This is usually the default printcap file to
|
|
scan. See <strong>printcap (5)</strong>.
|
|
<p><br><a name="DIAGNOSTICS"></a>
|
|
<h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><br>If a printer is found to be valid, the message "Printer name
|
|
<printername> is valid" will be displayed.
|
|
<p><br>If a printer is found to be invalid, the message "Printer name
|
|
<printername> is not valid" will be displayed.
|
|
<p><br>All messages that would normally be logged during operation of the
|
|
<a href="samba.7.html"><strong>Samba</strong></a> daemons are logged by this program to the
|
|
file <code>test.log</code> in the current directory. The program runs at
|
|
debuglevel 3, so quite extensive logging information is written. The
|
|
log should be checked carefully for errors and warnings.
|
|
<p><br>Other messages are self-explanatory.

|
|
<p><br>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
|
|
Andrew Tridgell <a href="mailto:samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au"><em>samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au</em></a>. Samba is now developed
|
|
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
|
|
Linux kernel is developed.
|
|
<p><br>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
|
|
<a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"><strong>ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</strong></a>)
|
|
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
