This seems a little overkill, given that the lp_server is already on the ltsp root and seems to work. > My method for this is to turn the thin-client into a jet-direct style > server with inetd: > 9100 stream tcp nowait lp /bin/dd dd of=/dev/usblp0 That's a little simpler alright, I doubt I'm going to need any parallel port printers (but who knows?). It's nice also in that I guess the lp-server will only run when someone tries to connect, freeing the resources for the rest of the time. Would this work better/worse/at all: 9100 stream tcp nowait /usr/lib/ltsp/lp_server -d /dev/usblp0 I guess you could also have 9101 stream tcp nowait /usr/lib/ltsp/lp_server -d /dev/lp0 so you can get to parallel printers too, just by picking a different port. > Then I give them a static IP address by DHCP, and point the central cups > server at them as if they were jet-direct printers. This is pretty much what I did too. Gavin -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
