ok then I would suggest running an nmap scan against the printer and see if things are working
nmap xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx the ip of the server you should see it listening on port 9100 if not check the config of the printer via its web interface and make sure that the services are running good luck -- Regards Dean Mumby ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Groos" <[email protected]> To: "Dean Mumby" <[email protected]> Cc: "Edubuntu Users Group" <[email protected]>, "Ben Francis" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 22 September, 2009 8:07:48 PM Subject: Re: Printer on thin client network--says it's working but isn't Hi Dean, Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds like you are giving directions to run the printer on the network THROUGH a local connection to a computer on the network--a thin client in this case. This gets me back to one of my main confusions--there is lots of documentation that says you have to set up your printer this way, locally connected to the server or to a client on the LAN. Other info (fewer pages I've found) tells how to connect the printer to the LAN directly (through a switch). I want to connect this old HP 8000 directly to the LAN, not through another computer. Has anyone else had this issue?

It would explain being able to receive an IP but unable to ping. Not sure. I'll investigate the topic this evening. $ telnet <printer ip> <printer port> is a way to test. HP network printers have telnet built in. When I try 192.168.1.6 (IP of printer) it hangs at "Trying 192.168.1.6..." When I try 192.168.1.9100 or 192.168.1.6:631 I get, "nodename nor servname provided, or not known". By the way, is 192.168.0.1 the IP of the server or the printer? It seems like a server address to me. It is the server... do I have something backwards? you need the ip address of the thin client , the best way is to make a static entry in the /et/ltsp/dhcp.conf for the mac address of the thin client then in the lts.conf (either /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf or /var/lib/tftboot/) you need to create a mac address entry for the thin client specifying the printer port , either usb or lpt I would then advise creating an active shell in the thin client , sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386/ apt-get install openssh-server then run passwd and create a password then update you image once you have rebooted you should be able to ssh in to the thin client and run netstat -an | grep tcp and see the printer server listening on port 9100 then try again. I hope this heklps as is acurate dean You should be able to set a static IP address on the printer through telnet or the printer's menu. Your project is great. Good luck. Thanks Ben--while it's true that I am leading this charge, it really is a team effort--thanks to all those who have helped/are helping/will help pull this project out of technological mud holes!

The thin clients run Firefox 3.5 and CmapTools as local apps. iTALC and Sabayon working well. Lots of joy here :) The issue I'm encountering is I can't get the printers to print on the LAN. I've googled, explored, googled and explored more. The cupsd.conf setting are shown below. In the printing control panel I've set the Device URI to socket://localhost:631 (and tried typing in 192.168.0.1 in place of localhost, and lpd in place of socket). It appears that the printer is working with the message: "processing - printer is now on-line" nonetheless, nothing prints. Any thoughts?
