I also had problems to print from a LTSP-PNP fat-client (version 5.5.5-1~bpo8+1). It turns out that both server and client try to share the same printer ... I've been able to solve this problem as follows: 1.) Make sure that you are able to use the printer form the server. 2.) On the server: Disable (within CUPS) sharing connected printers 3.) Update your image (or built your client and/or copy /etc/cups) 2.) On the server: Enable (within CUPS) sharing connected printers 5.) Boot and print from the client Truth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
