Ok...... lets clarify....
Your trying to print from the terminal..... to a printer connected to the TERMINAL.....
Your NOT trying to print from a terminal to a printer connected to the server .... correct so far ??

| crouse: unless I've lost my skills at reading, that's right - looks like printing from the terminal to the server was working for him, but he wants/needs to hook the printer to the terminal now.

Server configuration
| Quote: | You then need to configure the print spooler on your server to send print jobs to the workstation printer. Whether you are using CUPS or LPRng or any other print spooler, you'll just need to tell it that the printer is attached to an HP JetDirect interface with the IP address or the hostname of the workstation.
A typical device entry in cups would be:
socket://ws001:9100/
Assuming that your server can map the name 'ws001' to the IP address of the workstation. You could also use the IP address directly in the example above, instead of the ws001 name. |
I don't know how else to say this either....... you might try the IP address of that workstation and using THAT instead of using the workstation name ws001
My guess is that your having issues with the LAST part of the equation..... about the only other help i can give you is to tell you to REBOOT your system after making the entries...... there are several things running that might have to be restarted in order for the new printer to be recognized, and the easist way is just to reboot ........ yeah..... so window's, but easy  I've had to do this when connecting my brother printers to my suse 10 system. I suppose i COULD go and figure out WHAT command restarts the systems needed, but a simple 2 min reboot solves it quick enough for me.
I wish i still had my LTSP stuff setup here, but i don't. If all else fails, get on the mailing list for K12LTSP .... those guys have done this before ALOT and are very nice and helpful too. Wish I could be of more help. |
Thanks a ton for the information it is much appreciated!
I think I figured out my problem. By typing in an open terminal window "hostname" into the thin client should yield something like ws001. Unfortunately, on my setup it yields server.ltsp. I believe this is my issue. I am not to sure why this would be. Comments? Thanks!
