#!/bin/sh # This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It # uses the smbclient program to print the file to the specified smb-based # server and service. # For example you could have a printcap entry like this # # smb:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/smb:sh:if=/usr/local/samba/smbprint # # which would create a unix printer called "smb" that will print via this # script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/smb with # appropriate permissions and ownerships for your system. # Set these to the server and service you wish to print to # In this example I have a WfWg PC called "lapland" that has a printer # exported called "printer" with no password. # # Script further altered by hamiltom@ecnz.co.nz (Michael Hamilton) # so that the server, service, and password can be read from # a /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file. # # In order for this to work the /etc/printcap entry must include an # accounting file (af=...): # # cdcolour:\ # :cm=CD IBM Colorjet on 6th:\ # :sd=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour:\ # :af=/var/spool/lpd/cdcolour/acct:\ # :if=/usr/local/etc/smbprint:\ # :mx=0:\ # :lp=/dev/null: # # The /usr/var/spool/lpd/PRINTNAME/.config file should contain: # share=PC_SERVER # user="user" # password="password" # # Please, do not modify the order in the file. # Example: # share=\\server\deskjet # user="fred" # password="" # # The last parameter to the filter is the accounting file name. # Extract the directory name from the file name. # Concat this with /.config to get the config file. # eval acct_file=\$$# spool_dir=`dirname $acct_file` config_file=$spool_dir/.config # Should read the following variables set in the config file: # share # hostip # user # password eval `cat $config_file` share=`echo $share | sed "s/[\]/\//g"` if [ "$user" != "" ]; then usercmd="-U" else usercmd="" fi if [ "$workgroup" != "" ]; then workgroupcmd="-W" else workgroupcmd="" fi if [ "$translate" = "yes" ]; then command="translate ; print -" else command="print -" fi #echo $share $password $translate $x_command > /tmp/smbprint.log cat | /usr/bin/smbclient "$share" "$password" -E ${hostip:+-I} \ $hostip -N -P $usercmd "$user" $workgroupcmd "$workgroup" \ -c "$command" 2>/dev/null
