Hi,
I think it was David Johnston who asked me to share my solution for the $PRINTER problem under KDE with everyone, but when I sent all my mails to orcus the other day, this mail was killed too - so I am not sure if I speak to the right one. He will know, anyway :-)
This is what I found out:
In /etc/profile.local you insert a script like this. For the mailing list, I changed all comments into English:
----------------- # setting printer name according to terminal #
REMOTEHOSTNAME="`echo $DISPLAY | cut -d\":\" -f1| cut -d\".\" -f1`"
case "$REMOTEHOSTNAME" in
ws001|ws002|ws003|ws004|ws005|ws006)
PRINTER=printer1
;;
ws007|ws008|ws009|ws010|ws011|ws012|ws013|ws014)
PRINTER=printer2
;;
ws015|ws016|ws017|ws018|ws019|ws020)
PRINTER=printer1
;;
ws021|ws022|ws023|ws024)
PRINTER=printer2
;;
#unknown terminal
*)
PRINTER=lp
esac
export PRINTER# now changes made for CUPS:
# lpoptions -d $PRINTER
# no! better not this way, produces ugly messages # for root in terminal sessions. Instead of this, # changed /etc/cups/lpoptions to # Default $PRINTER # that works smoother ---------------------
Thanks again for everyone helping me, all information above has been gathered from other friendly people :-)
Hope it helps!
Rolf
