samba - Dec 2004 - time for a poll -- does anyone use the testprns tool ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Mostly for print server admins:

I am considering marking testprns as deprecated (or just
remove it).  It doesn't seem to be that useful anymore.  Does
anyone use it on a regular basis and would therefore be distraught
if it were gone in a future 3.0.x release ?




cheers, jerry

I didn't know it existed, and now that I do, I don't think I'd ever
use
it.

(For those unfamiliar with it, it merely checks to see if the printer 
you specify has a valid entry in /etc/printcap [or another printcap 
file]).
