#!/bin/sh # # @(#) 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 > /dev/null exit $?
