NAME

+ testparm - check printer name for validity with smbd +

SYNOPSIS

+ +

testprns printername [printcapname] +

DESCRIPTION

+ +

This program is part of the Samba suite. +

testprns is a very simple test program to determine whether a +given printer name is valid for use in a service to be provided by +smbd. +

"Valid" in this context means "can be found in the printcap +specified". This program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it +would be wisest to always specify the printcap file to use. +

OPTIONS

+ +

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 testprns. However, if +testprns finds the printer then smbd should +do so as well. +

+
printcapname This is the name of the printcap file within +which to search for the given printer name. +

If no printcap name is specified testprns will attempt to scan the +printcap file name specified at compile time. +

FILES

+ +

/etc/printcap This is usually the default printcap file to +scan. See printcap (5). +

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 +Samba daemons are logged by this program to the +file 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. +

AUTHOR

+ +

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell 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, samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. +
