This is an application we developed for internal use. It does an LDAP
search on AD and tries finding printers that conform to naming
convention and prints it out. If you are interested I can see if we can
push it out to GitHub.

We are using the ksmb backend, which is basically a shell wrapper around
smbclient -k, which we found on the Internet. Have a look at it:
