<description>
    <para>This parameters controls how printer status  information is
    interpreted on your system. It also affects the  default values for
    the <parameter moreinfo="none">print command</parameter>,  <parameter
    moreinfo="none">lpq command</parameter>, <parameter
    moreinfo="none">lppause command </parameter>, <parameter
    moreinfo="none">lpresume command</parameter>, and  <parameter
    moreinfo="none">lprm command</parameter> if specified in the 
    [global] section.</para>

    <para>Currently nine printing styles are supported. They are
    <constant>BSD</constant>, <constant>AIX</constant>, 
    <constant>LPRNG</constant>, <constant>PLP</constant>,
    <constant>SYSV</constant>, <constant>HPUX</constant>,
    <constant>QNX</constant>, <constant>SOFTQ</constant>,
    <constant>CUPS</constant> and <constant>IPRINT</constant>.</para>

    <para>Be aware that CUPS and IPRINT are only available if the CUPS
    development library was available at the time Samba was compiled
    or packaged.</para>

    <para>To see what the defaults are for the other print 
    commands when using the various options use the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>testparm</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> program.</para>

    <para>This option can be set on a per printer basis.  Please be 
    aware however, that you must place any of the various printing 
    commands (e.g. print command, lpq command, etc...) after defining
    the value for the <parameter>printing</parameter> option since it will 
    reset the printing commands to default values.</para>

    <para>See also the discussion in the <link linkend="PRINTERSSECT">
    [printers]</link> section.</para>

<value type="default">Depends on the operating system, see
