[Samba] smbprint

[Joel Hammer]

In my version of samba, smbprint is a shell script, which just calls
smbclient with the appropriate parameters.

The script is convoluted, but essentially the command that smbprint sends
is something like this:

cat thefile | /usr/bin/smbclient "//$server/$service" $password -U $server -N -P >> $logfile 2>&1

You can also use smbclient to log onto the printer share and then put
the local file to the printer share.  

Just make sure you have the file properly filtered!

Now, I do believe there is an options for --with-smbclient or some such when
you build samba.
