31.SH "DESCRIPTION"
32
33.PP
34This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
35
36.PP
37smbspool 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\&.
38
39.PP
40\fBDEVICE URI\fR
41
42.PP
43smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb"\&. This string can take a number of forms:
44
45.TP 3
46\(bu
47smb://server[:port]/printer
48.TP
49\(bu
50smb://workgroup/server[:port]/printer
51.TP
52\(bu
53smb://username:password@server[:port]/printer
54.TP
55\(bu
56smb://username:password@workgroup/server[:port]/printer
57.LP
58
59.PP
60smbspool tries to get the URI from the environment variable\fBDEVICE_URI\fR\&. If \fBDEVICE_URI\fR is not present, smbspool will use argv[0] if that starts with ``smb://'' or argv[1] if that is not the case\&.
61
62.PP
63Programs using the \fBexec(2)\fR functions can pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the\fBDEVICE_URI\fR environment variable prior to running smbspool\&.
64
65.SH "OPTIONS"
66
67.TP 3
68\(bu
69The job argument (argv[1]) contains the job ID number and is presently not used by smbspool\&.
70.TP
71\(bu
72The user argument (argv[2]) contains the print user's name and is presently not used by smbspool\&.
73.TP
74\(bu
75The title argument (argv[3]) contains the job title string and is passed as the remote file name when sending the print job\&.
76.TP
77\(bu
78The 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\&.
79.TP
80\(bu
81The options argument (argv[5]) contains the print options in a single string and is currently not used by smbspool\&.
82.TP
83\(bu
84The 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\&.

99.PP
100\fBsmbspool\fR was written by Michael Sweet at Easy Software Products\&.
101
102.PP
103The 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\&.
104
105.PP
106The 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, available at 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\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
