# This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It
3
# uses the smbclient program to print the file to the specified smb-based
5
# For example you could have a printcap entry like this
7
# smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint
9
# which would create a unix printer called "smb" that will print via this
10
# script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/smb with
11
# appropriate permissions and ownerships for your system.
13
# Set these to the server and service you wish to print to
14
# In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer
15
# exported called "printer" with no password.
18
# Script further altered by hamiltom@ecnz.co.nz (Michael Hamilton)
19
# so that the server, service, and password can be read from
20
# a /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file.
22
# In order for this to work the /etc/printcap entry must include an
23
# accounting file (af=...):
26
# :cm=CD IBM Colorjet on 6th:\
27
# :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour:\
28
# :af=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour/acct:\
29
# :if=/usr/local/etc/smbprint:\
33
# The /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file should contain:
38
# Please, do not modify the order in the file.
40
# share=\\server\deskjet
45
# The last parameter to the filter is the accounting file name.
46
# Extract the directory name from the file name.
47
# Concat this with /.config to get the config file.
50
spool_dir=`dirname $acct_file`
51
config_file=$spool_dir/.config
53
# Should read the following variables set in the config file:

eval `cat $config_file`
