<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<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>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>OPTIONS</title>
<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>

at Easy Software Products.</para>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
