+ <listitem><para>With the introduction of MS-RPC based printing
+ support for Windows NT/2000 clients in Samba 2.2, The MS Add
+ Printer Wizard (APW) icon is now also available in the
+ &quot;Printers...&quot; folder displayed a share listing. The APW
+ allows for printers to be add remotely to a Samba or Windows
+ NT/2000 print server.</para>
+
+ <para>For a Samba host this means that the printer must be
+ physically added to the underlying printing system. The <parameter moreinfo="none">add
+ printer command</parameter> defines a script to be run which
+ will perform the necessary operations for adding the printer
+ to the print system and to add the appropriate service definition
+ to the <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename> file in order that it can be
+ shared by <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>

+ <para>All parameters are filled in from the PRINTER_INFO_2 structure sent
+ by the Windows NT/2000 client with one exception. The &quot;Windows 9x
+ driver location&quot; parameter is included for backwards compatibility
+ only. The remaining fields in the structure are generated from answers
+ to the APW questions.</para>
+
+ <para>Once the <parameter moreinfo="none">addprinter command</parameter> has
+ been executed, <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will reparse the <filename moreinfo="none">
+ smb.conf</filename> to determine if the share defined by the APW
+ exists. If the sharename is still invalid, then <command moreinfo="none">smbd
+ </command> will return an ACCESS_DENIED error to the client.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ The &quot;add printer command&quot; program can output a single line of text,
+ which Samba will set as the port the new printer is connected to.
+ If this line isn't output, Samba won't reload its printer shares.
