well, in our environment client has directly attached printers to share. All printers are network-based (either lpd and jetdirect).
The spooler would be used just to send print requests to network printers and would never manage remote requests.
Maybe we just need some well handcrafted� script and not a real spool software, but I can't figure how to make it.
I am trying to install RedHat lpd, but I have to include perl, python...
I have seen mulinux print spooler, but it does not manage jetdirect printers...

In this environment LTSP client workstations should access to network (lpd, jetdirect...) printers directly. lp_server program does not have this feature. If possible we want to avoid a full lpd installation.Well, the question is: is there a light, easy to set up lp_server replacement which can print also on a network-based printer?Ouch! 3 users print at the same time and you get: Top of request #1ns from the Some of request3 middle of requst 2utter mixed garbage Why a lightweight spooler ? Why not: cups/LPRng on the server with 50 printers configured: say 2 on the server, the remaining 48 distributed around the sea of ltsp machines: and the system just works beatifully James ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
