I was very excited when I first saw this post as this is a feature that I use with my current K12LTSP setup , I tried dlink print servers but found that using my HP t5000 was more reliable , I am now half way through moving to my new premises and have migrated to an ubuntu ltsp and although this feature works for the first print job , immediately afterwards port 9100 is no longer available. which means I have to reboot the thin clients and then they print a page and reboot again. This is not a solution , so I was hoping someone else may have seen the same thing.
