.B file
.SH DESCRIPTION
With
.B nprint,
you can print files on print queues of a NetWare file server.
There are a lot of options, so you should probably wrap some default
configurations into some shell scripts.
.B nprint
looks up the file
.I $HOME/.nwclient
to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See
nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access
permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.
.SH OPTIONS
.B file
.RS 3
.B file
is the name of the file you want to print. If file is '-', or no
filename is given, standard input is used.
.RE
.B -h
.RS 3
.B -h
is used to print out a short help text.
.RE
.B -S

.RS 3
.B user
is the user name to use for the print request at the server.
.RE
.B -P
.I password
.RS 3
.B password
is the password to use for the print request at the server. If neither

nor

are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nprint
prompts for a password.
.RE
.B -n
.RS 3
.B -n
should be given if no password is required for the print request.
.RE
.B -C

By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent
to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by
.B -C.
