This program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it would be wisest to always specify the printcap file to use\&. + +.SH "OPTIONS" + +.TP +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 recognized\&. 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 \fBtestprns\fR\&. However, if \fBtestprns\fR finds the printer then \fBsmbd\fR(8) should do so as well\&. + + +.TP +printcapname +This is the name of the printcap file within which to search for the given printer name\&. + + +If no printcap name is specified \fBtestprns \fR will attempt to scan the printcap file name specified at compile time\&. + + +.SH "FILES" + +.TP +\fI/etc/printcap\fR +This is usually the default printcap file to scan\&.

The program runs at debuglevel 3, so quite extensive logging information is written\&.

Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&. + +.PP +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, available at ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&. + |
