manpage(testparm)(1)(23 Oct 1998)(Samba)(SAMBA)
label(NAME)
manpagename(testparm)(check printer name for validity with smbd )
label(SYNOPSIS)
manpagesynopsis()
bf(testprns) link(printername)(printername) [link(printcapname)(printcapname)]
label(DESCRIPTION)
manpagedescription()
This program is part of the bf(Samba) suite.
bf(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
url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html).
"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.
label(OPTIONS)
manpageoptions()
startdit()
label(printername)
dit(bf(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 bf(testprns). However, if
bf(testprns) finds the printer then url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) should
do so as well.
label(printcapname)
dit(bf(printcapname)) This is the name of the printcap file within
which to search for the given printer name.
If no printcap name is specified bf(testprns) will attempt to scan the
printcap file name specified at compile time.
enddit()
label(FILES)
manpagesection(FILES)
bf(/etc/printcap) This is usually the default printcap file to
scan. See bf(printcap (5)).
label(DIAGNOSTICS)
manpagesection(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
url(bf(Samba))(samba.7.html) daemons are logged by this program to the
file tt(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.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell email(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, available at
url(bf(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.

list of contributors and details on how to submit bug reports,
comments etc.
