Hi,
I have set up K12LTSP server (LTSP_KERNEL_VERSION=2.6.17.3-ltsp-1) and two
diskless workstaions.
To one workstation a USB printer is connected.
I have added to lts.conf:
[00:40:63:E9:86:25]
# MODULE_01 = usb-ohci # Error: module not found
# MODULE_02 = printer # module not found
PRINTER_0_DEVICE = /dev/usb/lp0
PRINTER_0_TYPE = U # P-Parallel, S-Serial, U-USB
PRINTER_0_PORT = 9100 # tcp/ip port: defaults to 9100
PRINTER_0_SPEED = 9600 # baud rate: defaults to 9600
PRINTER_0_FLOWCTRL = S # Flow control: S-Software (XON/XOFF),
# H-Hardware (CTS/RTS)
PRINTER_0_PARITY = N # Parity: N-None, E-Even, O-Odd
# (defaults to 'N')
PRINTER_0_DATABITS = 8 # Databits: 5,6,7,8 (defaults to 8)
PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY = N # defaults to N
SCREEN_01 = startx
SCREEN_02 = shell
Then I need to tell the server to send print jobs to that workstation (ws253).
For this I try to add a cups printer in the KDE print managing tool.
The printer starts printing:
POST /printers/ HTP/1.1
Content-Length: 162
Content-Type: application/ipp
Host: 192.168.0.253
User-Agent: Cups/1.2.4
Expect: 100-continue
.... followed by some gibberish.
Seems to me like this was a message intended for the cups daemon on the
workstation.
But instead the printer (a HP PSC 2110) prints it out.
Sorry about this question. Certainly this has been described somewhere. But
til now I did not find out how to configure the printer.
Regards
Ernst Arnold
