It turned out to be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/948372 I ran "sudo cupsctl --share-printers" and the printer magically appeared on the clients. Thanks! Todd On Fri, Mar 30, 2012 at 11:25 AM, Peter D Knight wrote: > you don't have to setup anything, it should work once the se

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 ch

I can indeed install cups in the client image. How and where do I set up the printer, given that I can't actually *run* the client image from the server? I suppose if I install the printer on another computer, I could just copy the config files, but does someone know which files I need to copy? On

use cups to setup the network printer. http://localhost:631 root as the user name and your admin password needed. At home I setup a windows printer and the fat client saw it when using libre word, without any extra work. At a school I installed cups server in the image. Peter On Thu, Mar 29, 2012

[Ltsp-discuss] printer from fat clients

2012-03-29 Thread Todd O'Bryan
Hey all, I just switched my lab to Kubuntu 11.10 using LTSP fat clients, but now I can't print from the clients. Users can't even set up the printer, because the printer configuration tool returns an error: -- The service 'Printer Configuration' does not provide an interface 'KCModule' wi
