><P
>This tool is part of the <A

>	Samba</A
> suite.</P
><P
>smbspool is a very small print spooling program that 
	sends a print file to an SMB printer. The command-line arguments 
	are position-dependent for compatibility with the Common UNIX 
	Printing System, but you can use smbspool with any printing system 
	or from a program or script.</P
><P
><EM
>DEVICE URI</EM
></P
><P
>smbspool specifies the destination using a Uniform Resource 
	Identifier ("URI") with a method of "smb". This string can take 
	a number of forms:</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>smb://server/printer</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>smb://workgroup/server/printer</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>smb://username:password@server/printer</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>smb://username:password@workgroup/server/printer
		</P
></LI
></UL
><P
>smbspool tries to get the URI from argv[0]. If argv[0] 
	contains the name of the program then it looks in the <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>	DEVICE_URI</I
></TT
> environment variable.</P
><P
>Programs using the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>exec(2)</B
> functions can 
	pass the URI in argv[0], while shell scripts must set the 
	<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>DEVICE_URI</I
></TT
> environment variable prior to
	running smbspool.</P

	at Easy Software Products.</P
><P
>The original Samba software and related utilities 
	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar 
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</P
><P
>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
	<A
HREF="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"
TARGET="_top"
>	ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</A
>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 
	release by Jeremy Allison.  The conversion to DocBook for 
	Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</P
