+.TH TESTPRNS 1 17/1/1995 testprns testprns
+.SH NAME
+testprns \- check printer name for validity with smbd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B testprns
+.I printername
+[
+.I printcapname
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B testprns
+is a very simple test program to determine whether a given 
+printer name is valid for use in a service to be provided by
+.B smbd.
+
+"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
+.I printername
+
+.RS 3
+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 recognised. 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 
+.B testprns
+however if
+.B testprns
+finds the printer then smbd should do as well.
+
+.RE
+
+.I printcapname
+
+.RS 3
+This is the name of the printcap file to search for the given printer name
+in.
+
+If no printcap name is specified,
+.B testprns
+will attempt to scan the printcap file specified at compile time 
+(PRINTCAP_NAME).
+.RE
+.SH FILES
+.B /etc/printcap
+.RS 3
+This is usually the default printcap file to scan. See
+.B printcap(5)).
+.RE
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+Not applicable.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the
+.B testprns
+program be installed under the /usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable
+by all, writeable only by root. The program should be executable by all.
+The program should NOT be setuid or setgid!
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the program has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.B printcap(5),
+.B smbd(8), 
+.B smbclient(1)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+If a printer is found to be valid, the message "Printer name <printername> is 
+valid" will be displayed.
+
+If a printer is found to be invalid, the message "Printer name <printername> 
+is not valid" will be displayed.
+
+All messages that would normally be logged during operation of smbd are
+logged by this program to the file
+.I test.log
+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.
+
+Other messages are self-explanatory.
+.SH BUGS
+None known.
