-.TH TESTPRNS 1 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
-.BR testprns .
-However, if
-.B testprns
-finds the printer then
-.B smbd
-should do so 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
-.BR 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/samba 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
-.BR printcap (5),
-.BR smbd (8),
-.BR 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
-.B 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.
-.SH CREDITS
-The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
-Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@anu.edu.au). Andrew is also the Keeper
-of the Source for this project.

-The
-.B testprns
-program and this man page were written by Karl Auer
