I have modyfied smbprint - it's maybe outdatet (it's based on
samba-doc_1.9.18p10-7) and I don't know does it work now (I don't have
windows based printing service). It has extended config file (smbclient
options and optional filter - I use magicfilter).
My printcap emtry is:
p13|toshiba-pc-13_2:\
:lp=/dev/null:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/p13:\
:sh:pw#72:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/smbprint:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
I have two scripts (smbprint, get_option.bash) in /usr/local/bin/ and
.config file in spool directory.
I attached scripts and sample .config.

#!/bin/sh -e
. /usr/local/bin/get_option.bash
# 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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael Hamilton)

# cdcolour:\

# :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:
# server=PC_SERVER
# service=PR_SHARENAME
# password="password"
#
# E.g.
# server=PAULS_PC
# service=CJET_371
# password=""
#
# Debugging log file, change to /dev/null if you like.
#
# logfile=/tmp/smb-print.log
#
logfile=/dev/null
#
# 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.
