- # @(#) smbprint.sysv version 1.0 Ross Wakelin <r.wakelin@march.co.uk>
- #
- # Version 1.0 13 January 1995
- # modified from the original smbprint (bsd) script
- #
- # this script is a System 5 printer interface script. It uses the smbclient
- # program to print the file to the specified smb-based server and service.
- #
- # To add this to your lp system, modify the server and service variables
- # and then execute the following command (as root):
- #
- # lpadmin -punixprintername -v/dev/null -i/usr/samba/bin/smbprint
- #
- # where unixprintername is the name that the printer will be known as
- # on your unix box.
- #
- # the script smbprint will be copied into your printer administration
- # directory (/usr/spool/lp) as a new interface (interface/unixprintername)
- # Then you have to execute the following commands:
- #
- # enable unixprintername
- # accept unixprintername
- #
- # This script will then be called by the lp service to print the files.
- # This script will have 6 or more parameters passed to it by the lp service.
- # The first five will contain details of the print job, who queued it etc,
- # while parameters 6 onwards are a list of files to print. We just
- # cat these to the samba client.
- #
- # clear out the unwanted parameters
-
- shift;shift;shift;shift;shift
-
- # now the argument list is just the files to print
-
- # Set these to the server and service you wish to print to
- # In this example I have a PC called "admin" that has a printer
- # exported called "hplj2" with no password.
- #
- server=admin
- service=hplj2
- password=""
-
- # NOTE: The line `echo translate' provides automatic CR/LF translation
- # when printing.
- (
- echo translate
- echo "print -"
- cat $*
- ) | /usr/samba/bin/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password -N -P > /dev/null
- exit $?
