<samba:parameter name="printcap name"

<synonym>printcap</synonym>

<para>
This parameter may be used to override the compiled-in default printcap name used by the server (usually
<filename moreinfo="none"> /etc/printcap</filename>). See the discussion of the <link
linkend="PRINTERSSECT">[printers]</link> section above for reasons why you might want to do this.
</para>
<para>
To use the CUPS printing interface set <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups </command>. This should
be supplemented by an addtional setting <smbconfoption name="printing">cups</smbconfoption> in the [global]
section. <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups</command> will use the "dummy" printcap
created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS configuration file.
</para>
<para>
On System V systems that use <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> to
list available printers you can use <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = lpstat
</command> to automatically obtain lists of available printers. This
is the default for systems that define SYSV at configure time in
Samba (this includes most System V based systems). If <parameter moreinfo="none">
printcap name</parameter> is set to <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> on
these systems then Samba will launch <command moreinfo="none">lpstat -v</command> and
attempt to parse the output to obtain a printer list.
</para>
<para>
A minimal printcap file would look something like this:
<programlisting format="linespecific">
print1|My Printer 1
print2|My Printer 2
print3|My Printer 3
print4|My Printer 4
print5|My Printer 5
</programlisting>
where the '|' separates aliases of a printer. The fact that the second alias has a space in
it gives a hint to Samba that it's a comment.
</para>
<note><para>
Under AIX the default printcap name is <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/qconfig</filename>. Samba will
assume the file is in AIX <filename moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> format if the string <filename
moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> appears in the printcap filename.
