# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

.PP This tool is part of the [**samba**(7)](/man/os/samba/samba.7) suite.

.PP smbspool\_krb5\_wrapper is a tool that can be used to print using Kerberos credentials. To get this working smbspool\_krb5\_wrapper needs to be the smb backend of CUPS. It needs to be owned by root and the permissions for the binary need to be 0700. Once smbspool\_krb5\_wrapper switched to the user trying to print it executes smbspool. It should not be called by a user.
