[Samba] start of print file spool to samba

[Floyd Shackelford]

i found the following two files with the string "print command":

./param/loadparm.c: {"print command", P_STRING, P_LOCAL,
&sDefault.szPrintcommand, NULL, NULL, FLAG_PRINT | FLAG_GLOBAL},

./printing/print_generic.c: run a given print command


as best as i can tell, it's NOT loadparm.c. so that leaves print_generic.c

it looks like this routine is the place? see my comments in the routine
body.

/***************************************************************************
*
run a given print command
a null terminated list of value/substitute pairs is provided
for local substitution strings
****************************************************************************
/
static int print_run_command(int snum,char *command, int *outfd, ...)
{

        pstring syscmd;
        char *p, *arg;
        int ret;
        va_list ap;
        va_start(ap, outfd);

        if (!command || !*command) return -1;

        if (!VALID_SNUM(snum)) {
                DEBUG(0,("Invalid snum %d for command %s\n", snum,
command));
                return -1;
        }

        pstrcpy(syscmd, command);

        while ((arg = va_arg(ap, char *))) {
                char *value = va_arg(ap,char *);
                pstring_sub(syscmd, arg, value);
        }
        va_end(ap);

        p = PRINTERNAME(snum);

        pstring_sub(syscmd, "%p", p);

        standard_sub_snum(snum,syscmd);

        /* Convert script args to unix-codepage */
        dos_to_unix(syscmd, True);

/*
fws:

this appears to be right before the command gets run. so i would add
something like:

        if (strcmp(syscmd,"print command") == 0)
        {
          // do my thing
        }
*/
        ret = smbrun(syscmd,outfd);

        DEBUG(3,("Running the command `%s' gave %d\n",syscmd,ret));

        return ret;
}


does this look right to you?

now the problem is: i need the ip address of the client that submitted the
print job. how do i get that?

Look for where we execute the "print command".
