Printer

[Joel Hammer]

Another version of the print command is:

cat FileToPrint  | smbclient //server/printshare  -N -c "print -"  

So, a final version might look like this:
cat FileToPrint | gs -dSAFER -q -sDEVICE=YourPrinter -sOutputFile=- -  | \
                 smbclient //server/printshare  -N -c "print -"  

 Note, I haven't tried this all out, but this should give you the idea.
