<samba:parameter name="printcap name"
context="S"
type="string"
print="1" developer="1"
xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
<synonym>printcap</synonym>
<description>
<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
<link linkend="PRINTING">printing = cups</link> 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:</para>
<para><programlisting format="linespecific">
print1|My Printer 1
print2|My Printer 2
print3|My Printer 3
print4|My Printer 4
print5|My Printer 5
</programlisting></para>
<para>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.</para></note>

<value type="default">/etc/printcap</value>
<value type="example">/etc/myprintcap</value>
