[Samba] Printer listings

[Tom Van Deun]

Ah, yes. My mistake. I should have been more specific about that of course.

First of all thank you L.P.H. van Belle for your quick reply.

The thing is, I can't actually install the smbclient on the system I need to
list the printers on.

It would be too big for what it needs to do.

All I need is a small app that lists printers on a remote windows system
(usually windows 2000 but it can differ). So I would need to pass the app
(or script, doesn't matter) the hostname as a variable. and grep the
printers from the output (or, if the app only returns the printers just take
the output).

Which is why I'm looking for a small app or script that does that. Or a
library that gives me that functionality.

I hope that makes things more clear. If there are any question feel free to
ask.

Kind regards,

Tom

should do it,
you make a txt file which has all the ipnummers in it.

Hi all

I'm very new to mailing lists so please forgive me any mistakes.

I am looking for a program or library that I can use on Unix to list
printers on Windows machines. I can program and I understand a fair bit of
C. But when I started taking apart the smbclient to get the "smbclient -L
<host>" functionality out of it it looked like a lot of work. A whole lot of
work.

So I'm hoping to avoid that. Also because I've been reading up on netbios,
nbt, smb and cifs and it seems to be a real mess.

Is there a tool / program / library out there that can give me the same
functionality of "smbclient -L <host>" ? I really only need to list the
shares, nothing more.


Kind regards,

Tom
