This lists the various +installed and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform +SDK documentation for more details of the various +flags and calling options. + +dit(link(spoolenumports <level>)(SPOOLSSENUMPORTS)) +Executes an EnumPorts call using the specified info level. +Currently only info level 1 and 2 are supported. + +dit(link(spoolenumdata)(SPOOLSSENUMPRINTERDATA)) +Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server. +On Windows NT clients, these values are stored +in the registry, while Samba servers store them in the printers +TDB. This command corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumPorts +function. + +dit(link(spooljobs <printer>)(SPOOLSSENUMJOBS)) +List the jobs and status of a given printer. This command +corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs function. + +dit(link(spoolopen <printer>)(SPOOLSSOPENPRINTER)) +Execute an OpenPrinterEx() and ClosePrinter() +RPC against a given printer. + +dit(link(spoolgetdata)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTERDATA)) +Retrive the data for a given printer setting. See the +bf(spoolenumdata) command for more information. This command +corresponds to the GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function. + +dit(link(spoolgetprinter <printer>)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTER)) +Retrieve the current printer information. This command +sorresponds to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function. + +dit(link(spoolgetprinterdriver <printer>)(SPOOLSGETPRINTERDRIVER)) +Retrive the printer driver information (such as driver file, +config file, dependent files, etc...) for the given printer. +This command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver() MS Platform +SDK function. + +dit(link(spoolgetprinterdriverdir <arch>)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTERDRIVERDIR)) +Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory() RPC to retreive the +SMB share name and subdirectory for storing printer driver +files for a given architecture. Possible values for <arch> are +"Windows 4.0" (for Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT +PowerPC", "Windows Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000". + +dit(link(spooladdprinter <printername> <sharename> +<drivername> <port>)(SPOOLSSADDPRINTER)) +Add a printer on the remote server. This printer will be automatically +shared. Be aware that the printer driver must already be installed +on the server (see bf(addprinterdriver)) and the <port> must +be a valid port name. + +dit(link(spooladdprinterdriver <arch> <config>)(SPOOLSSADDPRINTERDRIVER)) +Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer +driver information on the server. Note that the driver files +should already exist in the directort returned by +bf(spoolgetprinterdriverdir). Possible values for <arch> +are the same as those for the bf(spooolgetprintedriverdir) command. +The <config> parameter is defined as follows: + +dit()<Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:\ + <Config File Name>:<Help File Name>:<Language Monitor Name>:\ + <Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files> + +dit()Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL". + +dit()Samba does not need to support the concept of Print Monitors +since these only apply to local printers whose driver can make use +of a bi-directional link for communication. This field should +be "NULL". On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor for a driver +must already be installed prior to adding the driver or else the RPC +will fail. + +label(GENERALCMD) +dit(bf(General Commands)) +dit(link(set)(SET)) +Set miscellaneous rpcclient command line options during a running +session. + +dit(link(use)(USE)) +Connect to a rmeote SMB server. bf(rpcclient) has the ability +to maintain connections to multiple server simulaneously. + +dit(link(help)(HELP)) +Print a listing of all known commands or extended help +on a particular command. + +dit(link(quit)(QUIT)) +Exit rpcclient. + + +label(BUGS) +manpagesection(BUGS) +rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust +in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been known to +generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where +passed to the interpreter. + +From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page: +"WARNING! The MSRPC over SMB code has been developed from examining +Network traces. No documentation is available from the original creators +(Microsoft) on how MSRPC over SMB works, or how the individual MSRPC services +work. Microsoft's implementation of these services has been demonstrated +(and reported) to be... a bit flakey in places. + +The development of Samba's implementation is also a bit rough, and as more +of the services are understood, it can even result in versions of +bf(smbd(8)) and rpcclient that are incompatible for some commands or +services. Additionally, the developers are sending reports to Microsoft, +and problems found or reported to Microsoft are fixed in Service Packs, +which may result in incompatibilities." + +label(SEEALSO) +manpageseealso() +bf(samba (7)) +manpageauthor() +Samba is written by The Samba Team as Open Source.
