+Virtual line printer test program (vlp)
+=======================================
+
+This can be useful for testing/debugging Samba print code. It gives you a
+virtual full-function printer.
+
+Setup
+
+Set up Samba to use vlp.
+ In your smb.conf file under [global], add the following option:
+ printing = vlp
+ and then add any number of print shares, without needing to make them
+ really exist.
+
+ [testprinter]
+ printable = yes
+
+ is all you need for the most basic virtual printer.
