I have used smbspool to print to a PC with a null password, not my
computers, so I didn't care to change that. In any case the syntax is:

smbspool  job  user title copies options filename

where most of those are ignored. I have the following script to do the
actual printing:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then 
        printf "useage: print file_to_print\n";
        exit 1;
fi

for i in "$@"; do
        smbspool 1 guest $i 1 options $i;
done

Which I should rewrite because it's weird, like expecting DEVICE_URI to
be set rather than setting it (it should be set to something like
DEVICE_URI="smb://ORLANDO/LEXMARK" where ORLANDO is the name of the PC
and LEXMARK is the name of the printer).
