[K12OSN] Jetdirect printing using a thin client

[Huck]

after you setup this device in lts.conf
login to that device as a known users (testprint) or something...
as root type 'last | more'
your name should be at the top of the list...
you should see the thin client name... i.e.  ws101.ltsp  (or some such)

now..start a browser..goto  http://localhost:631
this is the CUPS web interface...
follow the instructions for adding a new printer...
when asked to specifiy the ipp: or socket: or http:...etc..
pick socket://ws101.ltsp:9100
there are examples on the page showing you what to type in there.
pick your driver...print a test page...and all should be good

--Huck
if that's not clear as mud I'll try better next time.
