This program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it +would be wisest to always specify the printcap file to use. + +label(OPTIONS) +manpageoptions() + +startdit() + +dit(bf(printername)) The printer name to validate. + +Printer names are taken from the first field in each record in the +printcap file, single printer names and sets of aliases separated by +vertical bars ("|") are recognised. Note that no validation or +checking of the printcap syntax is done beyond that required to +extract the printer name. It may be that the print spooling system is +more forgiving or less forgiving than bf(testprns). However, if +bf(testprns) finds the printer then url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) should +do so as well. + +dit(bf(printcapname)) This is the name of the printcap file within +which to search for the given printer name. + +If no printcap name is specified bf(testprns) will attempt to scan the +printcap file name specified at compile time. + +enddit() + +label(FILES) +manpagesection(FILES) + +bf(/etc/printcap) This is usually the default printcap file to +scan. See bf(printcap (5)). + +label(DIAGNOSTICS) +manpagesection(DIAGNOSTICS) + +If a printer is found to be valid, the message "Printer name +<printername> is valid" will be displayed. + +If a printer is found to be invalid, the message "Printer name +<printername> is not valid" will be displayed. + +All messages that would normally be logged during operation of the +url(bf(Samba))(samba.7.html) daemons are logged by this program to the +file tt(test.log) in the current directory. The program runs at +debuglevel 3, so quite extensive logging information is written. The +log should be checked carefully for errors and warnings. + +Other messages are self-explanatory. + +label(SEEALSO) +manpageseealso() + +bf(printcap (5)), url(bf(smbd (8)))(smbd.8.html), url(bf(smbclient +(1)))(smbclient.1.html) + +label(AUTHOR) +manpageauthor() + +The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the +Linux kernel is developed. + +The 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) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy +Allison, email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). + +See url(bf(samba (8)))(samba.7.html) to find out how to get a full +list of contributors and details on how to submit bug reports, +comments etc. |
