[K12OSN] printing and scanning

[bimal pandit]

dear Will,

you need to do the following incase you want to attach a printer with
one of the Workstation as

1) you must have assigned a name and an IP address to the workstation.
2) use some utility to configure the attached printer, like :- 
   printconf-tui,printconf-gui,printtool
   and select jetdirect,mention the IP of workstation(name may also
do),port- 9100
3) make changes in lts.conf

here is my configuration for a workstation ws011 which has fixed IP
192.168.0.11 and has a printer Samsung ML1210 attached to it through
Parallel port.

Note :- make changes as it is Parallely or serially attached or is a USB
printer.

[ws011]
# NODE :- Bimal Pandit
        X_MODE_0           = 1280x1024
        LOCAL_APPS         = N
        USE_NFS_SWAP       = N
        SWAPFILE_SIZE      = 64m
        RUNLEVEL           = 5
        PRINTER_0_DEVICE   = /dev/lp0
        PRINTER_0_TYPE     = P              
        PRINTER_0_PORT     = 9100           
        PRINTER_0_SPEED    = 9600           
        PRINTER_0_FLOWCTRL = S              
        PRINTER_0_PARITY   = N              
        PRINTER_0_DATABITS = 8              

hope this will  help

regards,

bimal

I would like to attach a printer (hp deskjet 930) and a scanner (canon canoscan lide 30).  How is this done? When I boot this selected workstation, should it detect the printer and scanner in some way, so when I use the wizard to set up, the hardware has been noticed? Thanks all!
