Samba printing: smbspool replacement

July 11, 2010 — BarryK
I recently posted about using smbclient for Samba printing, following advice from Patriot:

This is brilliant stuff, and very high quality work...

Patriot has now taken it a whole lot further, virtually a drop-in replacement for smbspool:

There was some feedback about the smbclient in Samba-tng not working with the smbc script in Spup 0.4.
However, Patriot's new script works with smbclient in both the normal Samba and Samba-tng.
