NAME
       pserver - NetWare print server

SYNOPSIS
       pserver [ -S server ] [ -h ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C
       ] [ -q queue name ] [ -c command ] [ -j job type ] [ -t timeout ] [  -d
       ]

DESCRIPTION
       pserver	is  a program that connects to print queues on NetWare servers
       and feeds incoming print jobs to the Linux printing system.

OPTIONS
       -h
	  -h is used to print out a short help text.

       -S server
	  server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
	  user is the print server name at the server.

       -P password
	  password is the password to use for the print server at the  server.
	  If  neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection
	  to the server, pserver prompts for a password.

       -n
	  -n should be given if the print server does not require a password.

       -C
	  By default, passwords are converted to  uppercase  before  they  are
	  sent	to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn
	  off this conversion by -C.

       -q queue name
	  queue name is the name of the print queue you want to service.

       -c command
	  When a job is received from the print queue, pserver forks off a new
	  process,  and	 feeds the job file to stdin.  command is the printing
	  command that is executed for each job. The default command is 'lpr'.

	  You can insert several flags into the command, preceded by %.	 These
	  are  replaced with values retrieved from the queue structure for the
	  print job.

	  %u: This field will be replaced by the name of the user  who	posted
	  this print job.

	  %d: This field will be replaced by the job description field of this
	  print job.

       -j job type
	  Each job in a NetWare print queue has a job type.  For  print	 jobs,
	  this corresponds to the number of the form the job should be printed
	  on. You can tell pserver that it should only receive	jobs  for  one
	  specific  form  from	the queue. The default is -1, which means that
	  everything is received.

       -t timeout
	  Pserver is not informed by NetWare servers when new jobs arrive.  So
	  a  polling scheme has to be used. When there are no jobs to service,
	  timeout tells pserver how long to wait  between  two	requests.  The
	  default is 30 seconds. When a job is finished, pserver asks the Net‐
	  Ware server immediately for a new job, and  does  not	 wait  timeout
	  seconds.

       -d
	  Normally, pserver daemonizes itself.	-d tells it not to do so. This
	  is useful if you want	 to  see  the  diagnostic  messages  that  are
	  printed when a error occurs.
