NAME
       smbspool - send print file to an SMB printer

SYNOPSIS
       smbspool	 [  job	 ]   [	user  ]	 [ title ]  [ copies ]	[
       options ]  [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the	 Sambasuite.

       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.

       DEVICE URI

       smbspool	 specifies  the	 destination  using   a	  Uniform
       Resource	 Identifier  ("URI") with a method of "smb". This
       string can take a number of forms:

       o smb://server/printer

       o smb://workgroup/server/printer

       o smb://username:password@server/printer

       o smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer

       smbspool tries to get the URI  from  argv[0].  If  argv[0]
       contains	 the  name  of	the  program then it looks in the
       DEVICE_URI environment variable.

       Programs using the exec(2) functions can pass the  URI  in
       argv[0], while shell scripts must set the DEVICE_URI envi-
       ronment variable prior to running smbspool.

OPTIONS
       o The job argument (argv[1]) contains the  job  ID  number
	 and is presently not used by smbspool.

       o The  user  argument  (argv[2]) contains the print user's
	 name and is presently not used by smbspool.

       o The title argument  (argv[3])	contains  the  job  title
	 string	 and is passed as the remote file name when send-
	 ing the print job.

       o The copies argument (argv[4])	contains  the  number  of
	 copies	 to  be printed of the named file. If no filename
	 is provided than this argument is not used by	smbspool.

       o The   options	argument  (argv[5])  contains  the  print
	 options in a single string and is presently not used  by
	 smbspool.

       o 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.

AUTHOR
       smbspool was written by Michael	Sweet  at  Easy	 Software
       Products.

       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.

       The original Samba man pages were written  by  Karl  Auer.
       The  man	 page  sources	were  converted	 to  YODL  format
       (another excellent piece of Open Source	software,  avail-
       able	      at	  ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/
       <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the
       Samba  2.0  release  by	Jeremy Allison. The conversion to
       DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
