<description>
    <para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printer
    support for Windows NT/2000 clients in Samba 2.2, it is now 
    possible to delete printer at run time by issuing the 
    DeletePrinter() RPC call.</para>
		
    <para>For a Samba host this means that the printer must be 
    physically deleted from underlying printing system.  The <parameter moreinfo="none">
    deleteprinter command</parameter> defines a script to be run which 
    will perform the necessary operations for removing the printer
    from the print system and from <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename>.
    </para>
		
    <para>The <parameter moreinfo="none">deleteprinter command</parameter> is 
    automatically called with only one parameter: <parameter moreinfo="none">
    &quot;printer name&quot;</parameter>.</para>
		
    <para>Once the <parameter moreinfo="none">deleteprinter command</parameter> has 
    been executed, <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will reparse the <filename moreinfo="none">
    smb.conf</filename> to associated printer no longer exists.  
    If the sharename is still valid, then <command moreinfo="none">smbd
</command> will return an ACCESS_DENIED error to the client.</para>
