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.
