#!/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, copy this file into your samba directory # (the example here is /opt/samba), modify the server and service variables # and then execute the following command (as root) # # lpadmin -punixprintername -v/dev/null -i/opt/samba/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/lib/lp or /etc/lp) as a new interface # (interface/unixprintername) # Then you have to enable unixprintername and 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 at the samba client. # # Set these to the server and service you wish to print to # In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer # exported called "printer" with no password. # # clear out the unwanted parameters shift;shift;shift;shift;shift # now the argument list is just the files to print server=admin service=hplj2 password="" ( # NOTE You may wish to add the line `echo translate' if you want automatic # CR/LF translation when printing. echo translate echo "print -" cat $* ) | /opt/samba/smbclient "\\\\$server\\$service" $password -N -P > /dev/null exit $?
