10 I think the problem here is that my script is screwing things up. I
11 actually had no idea what $0 would be in this case (thus the note that
12 "this is just a guess" ;-)). It looks like when cups is calling
13 smbspool, $0 is the name of the program, and not the URI of the device
14 (see man smbspool to understand why I was uncertain here!). And I am
15 changing DEVICE_URI to be whatever $0 was...which is wrong.
16
17 So the fixed script should be
18
19 ------
20 #!/bin/bash
21 tmpfile=/tmp/smbspool.$$
22 echo $0:$1:$2:$3:$4:$5:$6:$7 > $tmpfile
23 env >>$tmpfile
24
25 /usr/bin/smbspool.bin $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 >>$tmpfile
26 ------
27
28 But actually at this point I think you can just move smbspool.bin back
29 to smbspool, and things should work ok.
