Looking at the LTSP code, it seems to be default for LTSP to configure
CUPS for remote printing, but only if LOCAL_APPS=True... so I'm not
sure if that applies to fat clients.
Seems like LTSP accomplishes it by editing /etc/cups/client.conf on the
client.
# if cups is installed in the chroot, use LDM_SERVER for printing
if [ -d /etc/cups ]; then
if [ -n "${CUPS_SERVER}" ]; then
echo "ServerName ${CUPS_SERVER}" > /etc/cups/client.conf
else
echo "ServerName ${LDM_SERVER}" > /etc/cups/client.conf
fi
fi
I bet someone else can jump in and tell you much more about this than I can.
