atalk-device-name

This attribute designates the printer's AppleTalk entity name. If defined, this attribute overrides the spooler and queue attributes defined under the system for the printer object. You must have the AppleTalk transports running, and the printer name must exist in the AppleTalk network.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a atalk-device-name=name

description

This attribute designates a description of the printer. This attribute has no default.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a description=string

queue

This attribute designates the UNIX queue name associated with the printer.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a queue=queuename

share-access

This LM-NT-OS/2 realm attribute designates the printer mode, of value on or off. If you set this attribute to on, clients can access the printer through NB file services using share-level and user-level security. In this case, you can set a share password for the printer. If you set this attribute to off, clients can only access the printer through an NB file service using user-level security.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a share-access={on|off}

share-passwd

This LM-NT-OS/2 realm attribute designates the share password for the printer. This attribute applies only if you set share-access to on. Use a plain-text string for the share password. If you do not specify this option, or if the string has no value, clients can access the printer without passwords through the NetBIOS file services using share-mode security.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a share-passwd=password-string

spooler-options

This attribute designates options to pass to the UNIX printer spooler, such as lp.

Usage:

tnprinter -M -p printer -a spooler-options=option-strings

template-only

An attribute that, if set to on, causes the volume to behave only as a template, with no effect on TotalNET system performance.
