Hi. We're currently testing out LTSP (great project!), and hope someone
can solve this problem:
How can we set up a default printer on a per-machine basis? Some of our
clients are near network printer A, and some are near network printer B.
We want to set those machine to default to the printer near them.
As I understand it, this involves setting the PRINTER variable (unless
there is a different way to do it with CUPS, which I don't understand at
all!)., which could be done in /etc/bashrc, or something like that. But
it needs to be set on the _server_, whenever a user logs in from a
particular client.
Since we use dhcp, a client might not keep the same IP address over
time. The only thing that uniquely identifies the machine is the MAC
address. The ideal place for us to put this setting would be in the
lts.conf file. Any suggestions on how to implement this? Thanks!
