I've been digging some more at the problem.
I tried to open the port manually using the jetpipe command in the client.
It gives me the following error:

linux@ws23:~> /usr/sbin/jetpipe /dev/usb/lp0 9100
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 554, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 536, in main
    known_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 264, in addusersitepackages
    user_site = getusersitepackages()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 239, in getusersitepackages
    user_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASE
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site.py", line 229, in getuserbase
    USER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 518, in get_config_var
    return get_config_vars().get(name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 421, in get_config_vars
    _init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/sysconfig.py", line 285, in _init_posix
    raise IOError(msg)
IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h (No such file or directory)


Apparently python is not installed, or maybe it is because i am not running the command as root user (btw, what is the default root password for the client?, or how do i set it?). Looking at the config.xml file for the image creation script, the following python packages are installed.

<package name="python"/>
<package name="python-serial"/>
<package name="gimp-plugins-python"/>
<package name="rpm-python"/>

But in the client, if I try to find any python file, there isn't any.

I am starting to think there is a bug somewhere, but seems strange that nobody else is having the exact same problem, I suppose there is a lot of people printing with the same version I am using.
I've seen reports of similar problems, but running on ubuntu or debian.
I will try to rebuild the image, but since python is already installed, i don't see much use to it.


Any ideas?

Hello, I am having problems printing in kiwi-ltsp5 under OpenSuSE 11.4.
I posted this same question in kiwi-ltsp-users, but could not solve it yet.
I'm not able to get printers working in my thinclients.
So far I tried usb an parallel interfaces.
The dmesg output in the clients contains:

[    1.833983] usb 5-1: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=0005
[    1.833989] usb 5-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2,
SerialNumber=3
[    1.833994] usb 5-1: Product: USB Printer
[    1.833998] usb 5-1: Manufacturer: EPSON
[    1.834052] usb 5-1: SerialNumber: L02021002040751300
[    1.853332] usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 0 alt 0 proto
2 vid 0x04B8 pid 0x0005
[    1.853615] usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp
[    1.989174] checking generic (f0000000 7d0000) vs hw (f0000000 8000000)

So the printer is detected, but the jetdirect port (9100) does not open
I configured lts.conf the same way as several servers i work with that
are using ltsp 4.2 with suse enterprise.

This is my lts.conf:

[default]
        LDM_SERVER = 130.100.37.254
        SOUND=False
        LOCALDEV_DENY_CD=True
        LOCALDEV_DENY_FLOPPY=True
        LOCALDEV_DENY_INTERNAL_DISKS=True

        LDM_DIRECTX=True
        SERVER=130.100.37.254

        SCREEN_07=ldm
        LOCAL_APPS=true
        LOCAL_APPS_MENU=True
        LOCAL_APPS_MENU_ITEMS=firefox,xterm
        LDM_NOMAD=false
        RDP_OPTIONS = "-f -a 16" RDP_SERVER=130.100.37.254
        LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION=True
        LDM_LIMIT_ONE_SESSION_PROMPT=True
        XkbSymbols         = "es(pc105)"
        XkbModel           = pc105
        XkbLayout          = es

        PRINTER_0_TYPE = U
        PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/usb/lp0

Anybody can help?
Thanks

Raul
