Hi Anselm,

I tried to setup as described, but it wouldn't run this way.

I'll assume you have printers with the names Drucker1 and Drucker2.

Yes, I named them printer1 and printer2.

You are running cups. You have setup the session initiation script such that all programs running in a session have access to the PRINTER environment variable.

Yes.


Go to http://localhost:631/ on the LTSP server, and look wether there are Drucker1 and Drucker2 (just to go sure). Now create a new printer, with

Yes, everything ok up to here.

"Drucker verwalten" -> "Drucker hinzuf�gen" (Administrate printer, Add printer in english interfaces I guess), and set it like this:

And here's a stop: I don't get permission, neither as a regular user nor as root.


That's why I tried to do it with Yast, but it didn't accept this:

Ger�t(device): LPD/LPR Host or printer
Ger�t URI (device URI): lpd://localhost:515/$PRINTER

Instead of this, I choose a manual configuration which asks for a URI and typed in the lpd line. But it changed it to "localhost".


Now you should be able to login as any user, open a xterm console or similar and do lpd -P Standard /etc/hosts

Then it says "command unknown: lpd"

So I guess, there's more to that here :-)

First of all, I tried Peter's suggestion and it worked well with one exception (read my answer to him on the list). What do you think, should I stay with that solution?

Rolf
