<description>
<para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printing
support for Windows NT/2000 clients in Samba 2.2, The MS Add
Printer Wizard (APW) icon is now also available in the
&quot;Printers...&quot; folder displayed a share listing. The APW
allows for printers to be add remotely to a Samba or Windows
NT/2000 print server.</para>
<para>For a Samba host this means that the printer must be
physically added to the underlying printing system.
The <parameter moreinfo="none">addprinter command</parameter>
defines a script to be run which
will perform the necessary operations for adding the printer
to the print system and to add the appropriate service definition
to the <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename> file in order that it can be
shared by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The <parameter moreinfo="none">addprinter command</parameter> is
automatically invoked with the following parameter (in
order):</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">printer name</parameter></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">share name</parameter></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">port name</parameter></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">driver name</parameter></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">location</parameter></para></listitem>
<listitem><para><parameter moreinfo="none">Windows 9x driver location</parameter></para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>All parameters are filled in from the PRINTER_INFO_2 structure sent
by the Windows NT/2000 client with one exception. The &quot;Windows 9x
driver location&quot; parameter is included for backwards compatibility
only. The remaining fields in the structure are generated from answers
to the APW questions.</para>
<para>Once the <parameter moreinfo="none">addprinter command</parameter> has
been executed, <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will reparse the <filename moreinfo="none">
smb.conf</filename> to determine if the share defined by the APW
exists. If the sharename is still invalid, then <command moreinfo="none">smbd
</command> will return an ACCESS_DENIED error to the client.</para>
<para>
The <parameter moreinfo="none">addprinter command</parameter> program
can output a single line of text,
which Samba will set as the port the new printer is connected to.
If this line isn't output, Samba won't reload its printer shares.
