+ <para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para><emphasis>DEVICE URI</emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource
+ Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can take
+ a number of forms:</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>smb://server[:port]/printer</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer</para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer</para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>smbspool tries to get the URI from the environment variable
+ <envar>DEVICE_URI</envar>. If <envar>DEVICE_URI</envar> is not present,
+ smbspool will use argv[0] if that starts with <quote>smb://</quote>
+ or argv[1] if that is not the case.</para>
+
+ <para>Programs using the <command>exec(2)</command> functions can
+ pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the
+ <envar>DEVICE_URI</envar> environment variable prior to
+ running smbspool.</para>

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>The job argument (argv[1]) contains the
+ job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The user argument (argv[2]) contains the
+ print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The title argument (argv[3]) contains the
+ job title string and is passed as the remote file name
+ when sending the print job.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The copies argument (argv[4]) contains
+ the number of copies to be printed of the named file. If
+ no filename is provided then this argument is not used by
+ smbspool.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>The options argument (argv[5]) contains
+ the print options in a single string and is currently
+ not used by smbspool.</para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para>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.</para>
