Sorry to but in guys, but I'm also having problems with a printer
connected to a work station. The work station side the printer is
connected to the parallel port. On the server side I configure the
lst.conf as directed in the ltsp manual with no luck. The server side
looks like this.
[ws202]
PRINTER_0_DEVICE = lp0
PRINTER_0_TYPE = lp
How I got it to work is running a shell on a second session at ws202 and
there typing "lp_server -d lp0". This works perfectly, but what do I do
so that all this happens automatically.
F,Ruiz.

Joshua,
The printer redirector we use is called 'lp_server'. It's not something
we wrote. It's an open source project. It doesn't emulate any of the HP
command set. It simply listens on port 9100 (like HP JetDirect), and
forwards all data received to the printer.
So, if you telnet to port 9100 on the workstation, and type any
commands, those things you type will end up printing on the paper,
rather than being interpreted by a command shell.
If anybody knows of a decent JetDirect emulator, i'd be very interested
in seeing it.
