GSPL-NETWCMD(8)
NAME
gspl-netwcmd - display network command for printer
SYNOPSIS
gspl-netwcmd [ -n ] printer [ form ]
DESCRIPTION
gspl-netwcmd can be used to extract the network (terminal server)
printing command for a given printer and output it on standard output.
This is often useful for testing terminal server commands from the
command prompt in the event that error conditions arise and enquiring
what a given command "would have been".
The current form type is used unless the form argument is given, but
this generally should not make any difference.
A shell script is output to standard output containing the command. By
default, all the $SPOOLDEV etc printer environment variables are
expanded in the output where appropriate as the printer "would see it",
however this may be suppressed by means of the -n option.
- There is a very subtle difference if the "network" keyword is given
with - network exec ....
- rather than "network" without "exec" or via "network=". In the first
case, just the command is given, whereas in the other two cases the
output is preceded with
#! /bin/sh- and a blank line.
- Comments are added if no "reopen" statement appears. An error will be
generated if the printer is directly connected.
OPTIONS
-n suppress the expansion of environment variables.
DIAGNOSTICS
An error will be reported if the printer is not a network-style
(terminal server) printer.
