.PP
.SH "NAME"
smbspool \- send print file to an SMB printer
.PP
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBsmbspool\fP job user title copies options [filename]
.PP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This program is part of the Samba suite\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
.SH "DEVICE URI"
.PP
smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier
("URI") with a method of "smb"\&. This string can take a number of
forms:
.PP
.IP o
smb://server/printer
.IP
.IP o
smb://workgroup/server/printer
.IP
.IP o
smb://username:password@server/printer
.IP
.IP o
smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer
.IP
.PP
smbspool tries to get the URI from argv[0]\&. If argv[0] contains the
name of the program then it looks in the DEVICE_URI environment variable\&.
.PP
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 smbspool\&.
.PP
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
The job argument (argv[1]) contains the job ID number and is presently
not used by smbspool\&.
.PP
The user argument (argv[2]) contains the print user\'s name and is
presently not used by smbspool\&.
.PP
The title argument (argv[3]) contains the job title string and is
passed as the remote file name when sending the print job\&.
.PP
The copies argument (argv[4]) contains the number of copies to be
printed of the named file\&. If no filename is provided than this argument is
not used by smbspool\&.
.PP
The options argument (argv[5]) contains the print options in a single
string and is presently not used by smbspool\&.
.PP
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\&.
.PP
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is correct for version 2\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
.PP
.SH "SEE ALSO"

.PP
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
smbspool was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products\&.
.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell samba@samba\&.org\&. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed\&.
