I'm using korn shell to connect to oracle, retrieve certain values, put them in a list, and iterate through them. While this method works, I can't help but think there is an easier method.

TESTPRNS(1) TESTPRNS(1)
NAME
testprns - check printer name for validity with smbd
SYNOPSIS
testprns printername [ printcapname ]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the Samba suite.
testprns is a very simple test program to determine whether a given printer name is valid for use in a service to be provided by smbd(8)
"Valid" in this context means "can be found in the printcap specified". This program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it would be
wisest to always specify the printcap file to use.
OPTIONS
printername
The printer name to validate.
Printer names are taken from the first field in each record in the printcap file, single printer names and sets of aliases separated
by vertical bars ("|") are recognized. Note that no validation or checking of the printcap syntax is done beyond that required to
extract the printer name. It may be that the print spooling system is more forgiving or less forgiving than testprns. However, if
testprns finds the printer then smbd should do so as well.
printcapname
This is the name of the printcap file within which to search for the given printer name.
If no printcap name is specified testprns will attempt to scan the printcap file name specified at compile time.
FILES
/etc/printcap
This is usually the default printcap file to scan. See printcap (5).
DIAGNOSTICS
If a printer is found to be valid, the message "Printer name <printername> is valid" will be displayed.
If a printer is found to be invalid, the message "Printer name <printername> is not valid" will be displayed.
All messages that would normally be logged during operation of the Samba daemons are logged by this program to the file test.log in the
current directory. The program runs at debuglevel 3, so quite extensive logging information is written. The log should be checked carefully
for errors and warnings.
Other messages are self-explanatory.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of
Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
