<listitem>
    <para>This parameter may be used to override the 
    compiled-in default printcap name used by the server (usually <filename moreinfo="none">
    /etc/printcap</filename>). See the discussion of the <link 
    linkend="PRINTERSSECT">[printers]</link> section above for reasons 
    why you might want to do this.</para>

    <para>To use the CUPS printing interface set <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups
    </command>. This should be supplemented by an addtional setting 
    <link linkend="PRINTING">printing = cups</link> in the [global] 
    section.  <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = cups</command> will use the  
    &quot;dummy&quot; printcap created by CUPS, as specified in your CUPS
    configuration file.
    </para>

    <para>On System V systems that use <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> to 
    list available printers you can use <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = lpstat
    </command> to automatically obtain lists of available printers. This 
    is the default for systems that define SYSV at configure time in 
    Samba (this includes most System V based systems). If <parameter moreinfo="none">
    printcap name</parameter> is set to <command moreinfo="none">lpstat</command> on 
    these systems then Samba will launch <command moreinfo="none">lpstat -v</command> and 
    attempt to parse the output to obtain a printer list.</para>

    <para>A minimal printcap file would look something like this:</para>

<para><programlisting format="linespecific">
print1|My Printer 1
print2|My Printer 2
print3|My Printer 3
print4|My Printer 4
print5|My Printer 5
</programlisting></para>
	
    <para>where the '|' separates aliases of a printer. The fact 
    that the second alias has a space in it gives a hint to Samba 
    that it's a comment.</para>

    <note><para>Under AIX the default printcap 
    name is <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/qconfig</filename>. Samba will assume the 
    file is in AIX <filename moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> format if the string
    <filename moreinfo="none">qconfig</filename> appears in the printcap filename.</para></note>

    <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = /etc/printcap</command></para>

    <para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">printcap name = /etc/myprintcap</command></para>
