This parameter may be used to override the compiled-in default printcap name used by the server (usually
|
|
<filename moreinfo="none"> /etc/printcap</filename>). See the discussion of the <link
|
|
linkend="PRINTERSSECT">[printers]</link> section above for reasons why you might want to do this.

To use the CUPS printing interface set <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups </command>. This should
|
|
be supplemented by an additional setting <smbconfoption name="printing">cups</smbconfoption> in the [global]
|
|
section. <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups</command> will use the "dummy" printcap
|
|
created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS configuration file.

On System V systems that use <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> to
|
|
list available printers you can use <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = lpstat
|
|
</command> to automatically obtain lists of available printers. This
|
|
is the default for systems that define SYSV at configure time in
|
|
Samba (this includes most System V based systems). If <parameter moreinfo="none">
|
|
printcap name</parameter> is set to <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> on
|
|
these systems then Samba will launch <command moreinfo="none">lpstat -v</command> and
|
|
attempt to parse the output to obtain a printer list.

A minimal printcap file would look something like this:
|
|
<programlisting format="linespecific">
|
|
print1|My Printer 1
|
|
print2|My Printer 2
|
|
print3|My Printer 3
|
|
print4|My Printer 4
|
|
print5|My Printer 5
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
where the '|' separates aliases of a printer. The fact that the second alias has a space in
|
|
it gives a hint to Samba that it's a comment.

|

Under AIX the default printcap name is <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/qconfig</filename>. Samba will
|
|
assume the file is in AIX <filename moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> format if the string <filename
|
|
moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> appears in the printcap filename.
