#!/bin/sh
# This script is an input filter for printcap printing on a unix machine. It
# uses the nprint program to print the file to the specified ncp-based
# server and queue.
# For example you could have a printcap entry like this
#
# ncp:lp=/dev/null:sd=/usr/spool/ncp:sh:if=/usr/local/bin/ncpprint
#
# which would create a unix printer called "ncp" that will print via this
# script. You will need to create the spool directory /usr/spool/ncp with
# appropriate permissions and ownerships for your system.
#
# This version reads from a ${SPOOLDIR}/general.cfg
# file or uses the PRINTCAP_ENTRY environment variable
# passed by LPRng, and the 'smb_options' value in it.
# The username and password information are in an 'authfile'
#
#
# If you use the ${SPOOLDIR}/general.cfg file, it should contain:
# server=PC_SERVER
# printer=PRINTER_QUEUE
# authfile=auth
#
#
# Example:
# server=NWSERVER
# printer=P_QUEUE1
# authfile=auth
# authfile has:
# username=fred
# password=
#
# 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.
#
