Virtual line printer test program (vlp)
=======================================
This can be useful for testing/debugging Samba print code. It gives you a
virtual full-function printer.
Setup
1) Configure and build Samba.
For this to work, you need to add:
-DDEVELOPER
to your CFLAGS, and add:
--srcdir=<wherever your source is>
when running configure. Generally
./configure --srcdir=`pwd` <other configure options>
should work.
2) Build and install vlp.
# cd testsuite/printing
# make -f Makefile.vlp vlp
# su
# cp vlp /usr/local/samba/bin
3) Set up Samba to use vlp.
In your smb.conf file under [global], add the following option:
printing = vlp
and then add any number of print shares, without needing to make them
really exist.
[testprinter]
printable = yes
is all you need for the most basic virtual printer.
