+.SH NAME
+testprns \- check printer name for validity with smbd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+\fBtestprns\fR \fBprintername\fR [ \fBprintcapname\fR ]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This tool is part of the Samba suite.
+.PP
+\fBtestprns\fR is a very simple test program
+to determine whether a given printer name is valid for use in
+a service to be provided by \fB smbd(8)\fR
+.PP
+"Valid" in this context means "can be found in the
+printcap specified". This program is very stupid - so stupid in
+fact that it would be wisest to always specify the printcap file
+to use.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+\fBprintername\fR
+The printer name to validate.
+
+Printer names are taken from the first field in each
+record in the printcap file, single printer names and sets
+of aliases separated by vertical bars ("|") are recognized.
+Note that no validation or checking of the printcap syntax is
+done beyond that required to extract the printer name. It may
+be that the print spooling system is more forgiving or less
+forgiving than \fBtestprns\fR. However, if
+\fBtestprns\fR finds the printer then
+\fBsmbd\fR should do so as well.
+.TP
+\fBprintcapname\fR
+This is the name of the printcap file within
+which to search for the given printer name.
+
+If no printcap name is specified \fBtestprns
+\fRwill attempt to scan the printcap file name
+specified at compile time.
+.SH "FILES"
+.TP
+\fB\fI/etc/printcap\fB\fR
+This is usually the default printcap
+file to scan. See \fIprintcap (5)\fR.
+.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
+.PP
+If a printer is found to be valid, the message
+"Printer name <printername> is valid" will be
+displayed.
+.PP
+If a printer is found to be invalid, the message
+"Printer name <printername> is not valid" will be
+displayed.
+.PP
+All messages that would normally be logged during
+operation of the Samba daemons are logged by this program to the
+file \fItest.log\fR in the current directory. The
+program runs at debuglevel 3, so quite extensive logging
+information is written. The log should be checked carefully
+for errors and warnings.
+.PP
+Other messages are self-explanatory.
+.SH "VERSION"
+.PP
+This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
+the Samba suite.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
+.PP

+\fBsmbd(8)\fR
+\fBsmbclient(1)\fR
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+.PP
+The original Samba software and related utilities
+were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
+by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
+to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
+.PP
+The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
+ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
